Draft at Beerhouse. Crystal clear yellow color. Earthy hay aroma. Taste is cereal and light lemon. Decent.

Crisp light amber coloured body with a copper glow and a rather thick, three centimetre tall tan head. Aroma of toast, earth, metal, copper and a bit of light fruits. Medium-bodied; Strong toasty flavour with some grain and alcohol noticeable, but more of a subdued cereal and grainy flavour than most anything else. Aftertaste shows the toast and malt but not much of the hops or light complexity - just blandish. Overall, a decent beer with some good profiles but nothing extraordinary. I sampled this 440 mL bottle purchased from Tops at Green Point (Cape Quarter) in Cape Town, Western Cape, South Africa earlier today on 14-August-2015 for 32,10 ZAR sampled in my hotel room just a few blocks away in Central Cape Town on 14-August-2015 just a few hours later.

Crisp copper and light amber coloured body with a rich, thick, fast-dying off-white head, about six centimetres tall. Aroma of light pine, hops, earth and caramel - not much else around. Medium-bodied; Assertive nutty and herbal qualities with some pungent earth and sugars and a rather unrefined flavour of the hops and malt. Aftertaste shows more of a malt and earth flavour with some nuts than anything else - some light sweetness, a ton of pungent bitter malt notes and not much hops at all. Overall, a fairly poor IPA and it shows - but this is rather typical for a ZA IPA, sadly. That said, I’ll keep drinking these and trying other options as the different craft beers in ZA aren’t very large. I sampled this 440 mL bottle purchased from Liqour Outlet in Boonton, New Jersey on 12-July-2015 for US$3,29 sampled at home in Washington on 07-August-2015 just two days from returning back to the great country that is our [humanity’s] motherland of South Africa, specifically Cape Town.
