This is just not very nice. It really doesn’t look like real beer and it definitively don’t taste like real beer. It’s like a watered version of the regular Castle Lager (a thin enough brew itself) with extra carbonation.

Can. Pale golden body with a white head. A little malt flavor in the aroma and actually traces of hops. Flavor is just another refreshing, thin watery lager with just almost enough malt and hop to finish the bottle/can. It’s OK, but noting special.

340 ml can (Tanzania Breweries license). Almost black body with a creamy beige head. Roasted malt and chocolate aroma. Flavor is malty with roasted notes, milk chocolate and a little hint of caramel as well as bitter notes. Medium body, creamy and surprisingly easy drinkable, a bit sweet and one dimensional in the finish. A welcoming break from all the insignificant lagers found everywhere in Tanzania.

Clean grassy aroma. Brassy gold color with a white head that persevered. Smooth, full bodied, effervescent carbonation, decent light malt, and a hop finish that’s decent. Better than most USA mass produced watery products. Much better.

(33 cl bottle from Systembolaget) Clear pale golden color, fast dissapearing white head. Hay, corn and acidic sweet malt scent. Sweet malty taste with a really thin empty aftertaste. Rather dry. Spritzy high co2 mouthfeel. Low bitterness. Not terrible, but not good either.

Bottled. Golden colour, small white head. Malts and slight hops in aroma. Flavour is sweetish malts along with hoppyness. Some metal in the flavour also, especially when it gets warmer the erraneous flavours are there.
