Clear amber (?). Toast, biscuit, red apple. Sweetish red apple, biscuit, almond. Herbal hops, bit nutty. Flavour-wise nothing wrong here, but it's not a Dark Lager.

Stone fruit, citrus zest, wet hay, leather (almost Lambic-like, as if wild fermentation passed by here?). Sourish citrus, apricot, bitter hay. Bitter, bit tart, acidic finish. Infected? Weirdly enough not that bad.

Clear golden, small, white head. Biscuit, apple peel, pear. Sweetish pear, bitter orange peel. Bitter grapefruit & pine into the finish. Good enough.

Clear yellow. Vague straw & grass. Quite yeasty, grassy & grainy in taste. Dry and yeasty in the finish. Very light, but not bad.

Clear pale golden. Hardly any smell, some grain & grass. Soft grassy, yeasty, milky taste. Bready finish. The Bud Light of Namibia? Almost as inoffensive as it is inexistent.

A: hazy golden, small, off-white head.
A: oxidized apple, yeast, old cookie, caramel.
T: sweet apple, caramel & cookie.
F: grassy hops, yeast, oxidized fruit.
P: medium body, slick texture average carbonation.
Surprisingly decent example, then again, Namibia does have the German connection.
