"The beer is dark golden in colour with a decent foam head. The taste is round and malty with a sweet finish. A really nice pilsner I wouldn’t mind having again." - beersoftheworldproject.wordpress.com

Clear golden color with a white head. Moderate intensity in the aroma. Medium body and an average carbonation level. Decent balanced sweetness versus bitterness. Pale malt and herbal hoppy flavor. Decent easy drinkable pils.

330ml bottle (no barcode, like their Three Horses Beer Pilsener). Pours very pale and slightly hazy yellow with a large, long-lastingly white head. Nice lacing on the glass. Aroma is coriander, orange zest, phenols, light maltiness. Taste isn’t as good - watery, lemon, a bit tangy, very light bitterness.

650ml bottle. Pours clear yellow with a small white head. Aroma is grain and grass, bit bready. Taste is slightly sweet, malt, low bitterness. Very pale lagerish, but drinkable at that.

Shared 50cl can. Many thanks to hauxe (and Sarika!) Clear pale straw color with a white head. Aroma of grains and hay. Taste is corn, grains, a bit of apple juice, grass. Finish is mildly sweet. Really not that bad.

Fresh off the plane from Madagascar. Thanks, Sarika. Pours clear gold with a thin, bubbly white head that soon fades. Aroma is cereal, light alcohol, and a touch dank. Has a very pleasant bittersweet taste set atop a medium body. Goes down dry and crisp, actually pretty good for a Third World tick. Despite the name this feels more like a lager than a pilsener. Refreshing.

Thanks to cunningham for this 330ml can The beer starts malty and grainy. Sweetish-watery with a nice smooth body. Easy to drink with hints of a strange bitterness. But round and not too bad - but not a Pils - tastes like a normal sweetish-grainy pale lager...

12oz can - HotD Anniversary (wine) glass - gift from friend straight from Madagascar.

Almost no head. Piss yellow color, so looks like crapola, as expected. Smell is rather not horrid, slightly putrid corn and very husky. Flavor though is actually very doable. Much cleaner, a tad boring with a sweet corn end. But rather light and I would definitely be ok with drinking this in Madagascar
