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?

0,33 flaske fra sjappe på Long Street (Cape Town), på hotellrommet feb-20: nesten helt klar kobbergylden med kort skum. En god pale ale i engelsk stil - appelsinmarmelade, karamell, barskog og kjeks. Fin kropp. Mild, saftig bitterhed i afslutningen, som også inneholder den viktige mersmaken.

(Bottle, 0.44 l, thanks brunnsbe, 20190602) The beer poured deep amber and clear. Its head was medium sized and white. Aroma had caramel, grass and toffee. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were grass, caramel, malts and bitterness. Aftertaste was malty and bitter. A rather pleasant malty brew with lightly too sweet notes.
