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.

33cl bottle. Golden with slight bubbles and not much head which disappears fairly quickly. The nose has faint pale malt. The taste is more malt, quite sweet actually. The palate is fine - light to medium but refreshing. Overall, not a world-beater but very sessionable.

Bottle at the first German local RateBeer tasting at Wasaba in Idar-Oberstein. Courtesy of Bierkrug - thanks! Clear dark brown, huge beige head. Aroma is medicinal and metallic. Taste is sweet and thin.Earlier Rating: 3/21/2011 Total Score: 2.4Bottle at a grocery store in Dar es Salaam, brewed by Tanzania Breweries. Clear ruby brown, medium thick brown head. Aroma of shoe polish. Taste is watery milk chocolate, burnt carbon. Sort of not fair, because we shared a bottle of Crooked Line Labyrinth Black Ale just before trying this one. Different universe.
