500ml can into a pint glass
Look: Pours a clear, light amber with a soapy white head that settles into a thin white cap over the top of the beer. Some nice lacing here!
Smell: Sweet, toasty, bready malt and a slight metallic undertone to it. Not a very robust bouquet.
Taste: Follows the nose, without the unpleasant metallic note. Light, sweet, toasty biscuit/bread and an herbal bitterness that lingers a bit on the palate.
Feel: Thin, small bubbles, with relatively low carbonation considering I can see bubbles rising constantly in the beer...
Overall: A perfectly drinkable, but ultimately forgettable lager. A bit one-note.

Tried this beer at Rico Mammas.....it poured a golden clear with white head that left a spotty lace. The scent and taste had biscuit tones with slight Belgian twang. The Mouthfeel is lighter in body with good carbonation. Overall it's ok.

Bottle brought back from South Africa by my mum, and shared between me and @LaitueGonflable.
Pours a very clear golden colour, with a frothy head of eggy-white foam. Lacing is sudsy but solid enough. Body is very light body, with very mild, almost imperceptible carbonation. Not bad.
It's downhill from here though. Corny adjunct characters, with a slightly sweet overtone of sugar syrup. Feel flat, but at the same time, airy, fluffy and ethereal. It gives it an artificial, slightly sickly character. Unpleasant.
Taste is similar. Big corn-bread characters or husky grains with sugars, and a floury dry blandness. Slight phenolic bite on the back doesn't do enough to cut through the cloying sweetness. Hint of carbonic bite later gives the impression of stomach acid. Feel is flat but tingly—again, it doesn't help the cloy.
Not very good at all. Flat, lagery and bland, this is well on its way to being classified as "truly offensive".
