330 ml can. Clear, very pale golden with a big, fast disappearing white head. Aroma of sweet grain and corn. Flavor is some kind of sweet grain and sour. Not much bitterness at all. Thin body and weak aftertaste. Not a very nice experience.

Nice! Smooth, mellow, with a pleasant flavor. Appearance is great with thick, fluffy head. Bready aroma and light malty flavor, with a slight citrus tang. Very interesting...

Can. A clear one, pale golden in color and topped by a small, white head. Lightly unpleasant aroma, but it’s mostly hay, grass and pale malts. Very weak. The flavor is equally weak and boring, grass, hay and grainy pale malts. Medium body, soft carbonation, quite dry. The flavor is dry and faintly bitter, with some grass notes. A quite decent one, but far from impressing. 130204

Can. A clear, pale golden beer topped by a small, off-white head. Lightly pukish aroma, with grass, hay and pale malts. Quite weak. That goes for the flavor too, but at least it’s lacking the pukish touch. Pale malts, hay and grass in the flavor. A faint bitterness shows up towards the end. Medium to thin on the palate, pleasant carbonation. A beer I’m not tempted to repeat. 130204

Bottle. Opaque light hazy deep brown liquid with medium light tan head. Aroma of raw sugar, chocolate, corn, cereal, red berries. Taste is light to medium sweet and light bitter with notes of cereal and light chocolate. Light to medium bodied with medium carbonation. Quite horrible.

Canette 500ml. De couleur jaune et claire. Nez de grains de malt pâle sucrés, de maïs sucré, avec quelques notes de houblon herbeux (gazon mouillé) aisni que des traces fruitées (agrumes). Mince en bouche avec un pétillement moyen et une texture aqueuse. Goût de grains de malt pâle sucrés légèrement croustillant lors de l’entrée en bouche suivi rapidement d’un léger goût sucré de maïs puis finalement une très légère amertume de houblon herbeux aux notes florales sèches viennent clore la gorgée. Post-goût court et aux notes sèches, très légèrement amer de houblon herbeux.

Clear golden coloured body with a nice, two centimetre tall white head. Aroma of pale malt, lemons, very light hops, apples and a bit of metal - fairly nice, actually. Light-bodied; Sharp metallic notes with malt, iron, funk, basement and a hint of light lemons noticeable up front. Aftertaste shows malt, alcohol, funk, mushrooms, lemons, apples and a ton of metal in the palate - with perhaps a refreshing note, due to the lingering light malt. Overall, not a bad beer of course, but just not one that stands out - a decent beer to sample very easily in South Africa. I sampled this specialised (Kaizer Chiefs special can) 33 cL can purchased from Skukuza Rest Camp in Kruger National Park, Nelspruit (or Witrivier, if you will), South Africa on 21-August-2011 for ~ZAR7,00 sampled at home in Washington on 12-January-2013.

From a 330ml bottle on 30/12/2012. Pours a clear light yellow with a small head. Has a typical pale lager aroma of stale grain. The flavour features a little sweet malt and a small dose of hops. An entirely dull, run of the mill macro pale.
