Caimed to be the most popular beer in South Africa. Thin/weak flavor, with prominent corn. Yet another pale lager, and not a particularly good one.

[1207-20080317] 450mL can. Corn field and sandy beach aroma. Clear, yellow body with a big medium-lasting foamy white head and nice lacing. Gentle corn stacks and mild grains flavour. Light body is watery. Bland but probably better with spicy food.

Can on a plane. Light in appearance and in taste. Grain/corn taste. Minimal hops. Thoroughly average.
