(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.

(can) Clear golden colour with a mid-sized foamy white head, leaving some lace. Dusty sweet malty and corny nose with sourdough and a whiff of hops. Light bitter flavour, light to medium body, smooth carbonated mouthfeel. Slightly sweet grainy taste, mild bitter finish. Not that bad as expected, even drinkable.

(Bottle 33 cl) Pilsener golden with a fine, white head. Fruity, hoppy aroma. Decent body with notes of malt and some brewing cereal. Very hoppy finish. Actually a fairly decent lager. 090106

Bottled. Bright golden, rich head. Chemical paper aroma. Sweet and watery with foul plastic flavour. No hops, nor malt, nor bitterness. Utter crap!

Ein recht stabiles Bier, obwohl die angekündigte "Leichte Bitterkeit" ausbleibt. Der Anfang ist recht hopfig, ein wenig malzig. Recht mild isses und natürlich süffig. Zum Ende hin ein wenig Herb, dieses Aroma schächt doch direkt wieder stark ab, um dann, zusammen mit einem etwas metallernen Geschmack noch eine Zeit lang anzuhalten. Fazit: Da dies mein erstes südafrikanisches Bier ist, habe ich keine großen Verlgeichsmöglichkeiten. Ausbaufähig ist dieses Bier auf jeden Fall noch. Test vom 17.11.2005, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 12,7,10,6,13,8 - 8,50

33cl bottle. Gold coloured lager with thin white head. Not a great premium lager. Some hop finish mixed in with carbonation tingle otherwise not a lot else. Aroma is slightly unpleasant
