Brought by Višnja 666 and Pilot Goran from South Africa. Huge thanks for this! Shared with them in a tasting session in June 2017. Clear golden, off-white head. Lightly hoppy, maybe herbs. Malts. Light bitterness. Medium body, moderate carbonation, lightly hoppy finish. Good. Might not have been fresh.

Bottle brought by Pilot Goran all the way from South Africa. Huge thanks! Shared with him and Višnja 666. Clear amber, small off-white head. Malts, fruit jam, some hops. Light bitterness. Maybe a bit old. Not bad anyway. Medium body, moderate carbonation, sweetness with a dry finish.

340ml bottle. Clear golden amber colour with a small white head. Aroma literally just smells of hay, farmyard, very odd for a pale ale, some citrus but hard to detect. Taste is similarly odd, some funky citrus fruits, orange, again some strange farmyard notes, hard to describe, finish is bitter. Light body, quite thin, watery-oily texture. Not a good pale ale, something may have been off with this bottle.

340ml bottle. Pours clear golden amber with a small head, quickly dissipating. Aroma of light sweet pale malts, grainy, corn, subtle hops. Taste of sweet malts, grainy, corny, any hops are too subtle to notice, a touch of bitterness in the finish. Light body, thin oily texture, average carbonation. Ok but really not that much better than most big macro produced lagers.
