I had seen this beer in Zambia as well, but I decided to wait until I actually got to Namibia. I find most beer in Africa is… okay. They are all lagers, and most of them are fine. There are a couple I didn’t like, notably Hansa in Namibia and Tusker in Kenya, but the others have been all right. This one I like a bit more, although it doesn’t deviate from a standard lager very much. You can get it in a bottle or can (which basically means it’s not really a draft, but whatever), and I liked the canned version more.
Sight: A clear, pale yellow with lots of little bubbles floating to the top. There is a head after pouring, but it quickly reduces to nothing.
Smell: Nothing spectacular. You can smell the hops, but I wouldn’t really say that it has a strong hoppy smell.
Taste: It again is nothing to write home about, but out of the African beers I have had so far in Kenya, Tanzania, Zambia, and Namibia, this is my favorite. It is just a smooth lager that is quite refreshing when it’s hot out.

Overall
Nothing too spectacular, but out of the possible competition, this has been my favorite African beer so far.
