St. Louis Lager

Brewed by Kgalagadi Breweries (SABMiller)
Style: Pale Lager
Gaborone, Botswana

Another African brew from John: Poured a off-yellow colour with a small frothy top. Corn and grain immediately on the nose. Pretty malty in the taste, some hops near the finito. I guess i would have enjoyed it a tad bit more, had the aBV been 1.5% higher. Nonetheless, beggars can’t be choosers. Thanks John!

Courtesy of Nuffield. Pale yellow color with a thin head. Light corn aroma. Very light grain taste. Bland but unoffensive.

Harmless beer. Very light with corn aroma. Compares very easily to American light beers. Not terrible at all and considering some of the other international lagers consumed the same day, this one stands out as particularly innocuous.

Thanks to Nuffield for sharing this hard to acquire beer. Light yellow. Very mild flavor and aroma, and very light hops. Very drinkable and in no way offensive.

Clear golden pour with no head. Dull aroma of stale corn. Thin bodied without much flavor.

Sampled from 375ml aluminum can, supplied by Nuffield. Pours a clear light golden straw that is nearly water color with a thin white head that dissipates clean. Aroma of watered down corn malt, a hint of pineapple and some citrus. Taste is very light bodied, plenty of carbonation with a flavor that is nearly a step above carbonated water. Finish is slightly metallic, a little gritty and mostly watery aftertaste. At least I would drink this over the local water.

Probably better to drink hard liquor in Botswana than this beer. It is the same lager served up in every developing country, and I know that Botswana can do better.

Light yellow and clear. Has a mostly diminishing head, white. Aroma has notes of sewer, bad. Flavor starts light sweet and finish light bitter. Dry, watery texture.
