340ml bottle. Pours clear golden with a thin head, quickly dissipating. Aroma of sweet pale malts, toffee, fruits. Taste is sweet and malty, fruits, toffee, honey, subtle grassy and citrus hops, gentle bitterness on the finish. Light body, average-heavy carb. A little unbalanced with the sweetness but ok for what it is.

440ml bottle. Pours crystal clear golden amber with a small beige head. Aroma is a little weak, malty with some fruity hops, light citrus. Taste is similarly malty, a little caramel/toffee balanced with nice citrus fruity hops, finish is quite bitter. Medium body, average carbonation. Not bad but nothing to excite me.

440ml bottle. Pours a clear amber colour with a small non-lasting beige head. Sweet malty aroma, caramel, toffee and fruits. Flavour is also heavily on the malty side, predominantly caramel and toffee notes, fruity and bready, "mountains of hops" it most certainly does not have, the finish is a little bitter - medicinal/metallic though. Medium body, average carbonation. Disappointing for my first South African craft beer.

Amber to red in appearance. Aroma and flavour have strong malts and resinous hop bitterness. This is countered by syrupy sweet red fruits.

Golden colour with quick fading head. Aroma and flavour have plenty of pale malts. Quite a creamy texture. Very low hop presence.
