Well... it’s beer. Faintly sweet aroma and flavor. VERY pale. Refreshing and unoffensive, but not much else. Bottle from Market Street Wineshop Downtown Charlottesville, VA.

500ml bottle shared with Finn. Straw coloured body under a fading, frothy white head. Light smell of sour grass. Sweetcorn in flavour. Gets very sweet after a while. Lively carbonated. Rather bland (16.05.2008)

Bottle. Adjuct odour and some faint malt. Much maize in the flavour and damned little else. Finish like water and metal. The only one reason to drink this is. You are in Africa, and this the only thing you have to drink.

Bottle: Poured a golden to pale color with white medium head. The aroma was sweet and somewhat grassy. The taste was similar with lots of sweet carbonated goodness.

Pours clear pale yellow with white head. Faint aroma of floral hops. Slightly sweet with a hint of lemon. Light body with average carbonation. A typical pale lager, nothing special

Bottle courtesy of Papsoe (thanks!), shared with ozujsko. I guess that the bottle was a bit off, and I’ll rerate it as soon as I can. Poured a misty ochre colour with a thick white head that went away slow (!).. Stale nutty nose. Fruity, kinda berryish maltiness, tiny herbal-lemony hop profile, watery yet feals heavy, a touch of caramel if I stretch my imagination a bit and definitely a bit stale. Maybe it was a good thing that it was old. Had far worse beers.

Bottle. Pours a clear pale yellow color with a small white head. Sweetish malty aroma with some grassy hints. Sweet malty grainy flavor with some grassy hints. Sweetish malty finish.

340 ml can brought back from Kenya by Garthicus! Thanks Al!!! Nose is sweet and bready with light caramel, apple, and grassiness; Nose is completely different than BMC pale lagers! clear darker yellow-gold with a medium, glass-lacing yellow-tinged head; flavor is slightly sweet with some caramel, banana, and very light back ground bitterness for the finish!
