340ml bottle bought onlibe from St Marcus (a shop in the UK that deal mostly in SA goods) and drunk at home. Weak iced tea brown, clear with a small off-white head. Light aroma, mostly caramel. Taste is bittersweet with light notes of caramel, sweet spice, stone fruit and citrus peel. Shirt to medium finish, heavily carbonated. These beers are really simple but nicely put together.

340ml bottle ordered online from St Markus and drunk at home. Dark gold and a dirty sort of hazy with a small bit of white head. Scent is dominated by ground coriander with a little bit of citrus peel. Sweet/sourish taste with more coriander and some tannic notes. Heavy carbonation. It's okay, hits many of the right notes but feels a little artificial.

340ml bottle orsered online from St Marcus and drunk at home. It's a deep orange/gold and clear with a film of white head on top. Big piney aroma, tangerines, kemquat peel. The taste is extremely bitter with hop oils all the way down the throat. More pine, citrus, light malt character. Oily body, medium carbonation. Nice.

340ml bottle bought from St Marcus (South African specialty food and drink shop) online, drunk at home. Light to mid-gold, clear with a small white head. Metallic, corny aroma, some gluey notes. Sweet taste, gluey malt, creamed corn, with light bitterness nearer the finish. Watery body, heavily carbonated. Kind of dull, starts out okay but gets wearing quite quickly. It's a competent enough lager.

340ml bottle bought from St Marcus (South African specialty food and drink shop) online, drunk at home. Light to mid-gold, clear, some oily viscosity is the class, with a ring of white head. Muted aroma with gooseberry, grapefruit and lime. Tastes lovely with gooseberry hop to the fore. Astringency in the latter part fo the sip and the long finish. Medium oily body, heavy carbonation. Surprised by how much I liked this, an old-fashioned, simple, feel-good APA.

0,33 flaske på Africa Gold, siste kvelden i Cape Town feb-20: lett uklar korngylden med ok skum. Behagelig og avslappende preg med myk hvetemalt, banan, tyggis, nelliker og litt søt citrus. En fin aperitif til et formidabelt afrikansk måltid.

Halvliter på koselig lite spisested ved Waterfront, feb-20: klar gylden med fint skum som varer helt ned. En helt grei og godt humlet pøseøl i varmen her i Cape Town. Hint av røykmalt?
