Bottle. Slightly sour barley malt aroma. LIght golden yellow color with small head and slight effervescence. Slightly sweet barley malt flavor with little hops - mild tasting. Nice taste and balance but nothing special - a typical pale lager.

Can (by MoritzF): Fruity-grainy nose with a light hoppy aroma and a touch of iron; golden coloured, bigger fluffy head, slowly diminishing; faint bitterness on a delicate sweet-malty base, extremely light-bodied; short, faint sweetish-bitter finish. Refreshing, but watery....................

Can (sponsored by MoritzF !): Almost black coloured, small but stable brownish foamy layer, lacing; delicate nose: roast-malt, milk-coffee with a faint fruitiness; bitter-sweetish flavour with a very faint acidity, soft MF, quite light bodied for a beer of 6.0% ABV; roast-malty, a bit fruity finish with a delicate, but lingering bitterness in the aftertaste. Quite good and pleasant.....there are worse beers from SABMiller.........

(can) Black coloured with a creamy and stable brown foam. Mild sweet aroma of roasted malt with coffee and chocolate and hints of soap. More bitter than sweet flavour, medium bodied, smooth carbonation; medium dry roastmalty start with chocolate and caramel; dry and bitter, but also slim finish. Not very complex but drinkable brew.
