Unpleasant lager with a poor malty finish. Sadly its widely distributed in southern Africa.

Aroma is harsh burnt hops and sour malts. Okay yellow body, decent head. Flavour is caramel, burnt malt, some vague hops. Weak mouthfeel. Would probably work on a hot day in South Africa, but that’s about it.

Found at a Ma Maison supermarket in Kolwezi, DR Congo. Aroma is of nice sour apples, apperance is a slightly green body with little head. Flavour is just as the bottle says: clean & dry apple taste. Good mouthfeel. Maybe it’s just me thirsty in the Congo, but I quite like this one.

Super light clear golden coloured body with hardly any head at all. Aroma of citrus, light malt, a touch of very very small hops, a little sweetness and not much of anything else. Light-bodied; Sweet and floral taste at first with some apples and pear flavours coming soon afterward - relatively sweet and mild. Aftertaste shows some funkier malt with a little deep pungent flavour and some metallic notes. Overall, a pretty standard pils, perhaps on the bottom half of the chart - not great. I sampled this 33 cL can purchased at the Skukuza Rest Camp in Kruger National Park, near Nelspruit, South Africa on 21-August-2011 sampled at home in Washington on the other side of the planet on 23-December-2011 a few days before leaving to go back to South Africa on holiday.

Overall It’s not bad, but it doesn’t go far beyond that. Taste doesn’t have much depth to it for a stout, but feels thick on the tongue at least. Had in a 355ml can in Nha Trang, Vietnam

33cl bottle pours a opaque black with a thick, creamy, beige head. Nose is rather mild, a little malt, some toasted bread, some light chocolate. Flavor is pretty nice, roasted barley, chocolate, light coffee, sweet maltiness, some dark toast, grainy. Full bodied, malty, dry finish. I liked this more than the Guinnes Foreign Extra. This isn’t as thick, it’s sweet but not cloying and it’s got a good barley flavor. No complaints.
