Canned. Deep red/black. A small tanned head that soon disappeared. Modest fruity and malty aroma. Sweet roasted flavor with a sweet bitter finish. OK stout but a bit watery. KI=3.

Bottled. Pale golden, fizzy head. Buttery Granny Smith aroma. Some tartness refreshes, but candyish esters lurk behind. Light-medium bodied with spritzy mouthfeel. No bitterness. Not the worst SAB product by far.

Bottled. Fizzy clear golden. Very sweet. Sticky apple candy with a twist of artificial lemon. Estery and funky. No bitterness.

Bottled. Clear golden, brief fizzy head. Aroma of apple syrup and corn. Sweet and lemonady, medium bodied with sticky mouthfeel. No bitterness. Pointless and simply not good at all.

Bottled. Golden colour, fizzy head. Very light grass aroma. Medium bodied and medium sweet with some very light buttery malt. Low bitterness. If anything it is more similar to a dortmunder than a märzen, but the use of maize is heavily noticable. Still it’s free from off-flavours and has some positive aspects, making it one of the more worthwile commercial products in South Africa.

Can - the license version brewed by Tanzania breweries. Almost black with a rusty tint. Virtually no head. Dark coffee aroma and notes of roastiness. Roasted flavour supported by notes of milk chocolate and cocoa added some hints of liquorice. Bittersweet aftertaste. Medium palate. Almost like a Norwegain Yule beer (Thanks to Yngwie for this one)(shared with Finn, 21.11.2007).

Can. (brewed by Tanzanian Breweries) Clear, deep brown pour, with a tan head. Chocolate and coffee aroma, but a bit weak. Nice though. The flavor is quite roasted, but also chocolate and coffee plays a significant role, and there’s also some sweetness in it. It finishes rather roasted. A medium-bodied, quite nice and quaffable beer.

Bottle. Pale golden body with a white head. Malt with notes of hops in aroma. Flavor has some malt and hops, more than any of the other lagers from SAB. Watery body, but refreshing and drinkable.

Bottle. Pale golden body with a white head. Vague malt aroma, fruity. Watery, light body with a short finish. A little hint of something unpleasant in the aftertaste, best described as a slightly hint of sewer.
