Pours gold with a white head that sticks around. Smells of apples, some stray hops. Tastes peppery and spicy with a pilsner finish. Somewhat watery but decent.

Bottle 330ml. @ Tasting by Benzai.

[ As my country rating # 128 on ratebeer ]. Clear light medium yellow colour with a average to large, frothy, good lacing, mostly lasting, white head. Aroma is moderate malty, grain, hay, sweet malt, vegetables, cardboard. Flavour is light moderate sweet and light bitter with a average duration, cardboard, vegetables. Body is light to medium, texture is watery, carbonation is soft. [20120304]

Light fragrance and flavor of malt and grassy hops. Quite thin in flavor. A very boring, but not disgusting beer! Works probably great as a thirst quencher in a hot country like Gambia. Experiencing little difference in the two variants: "Banjul Jul Brew Export" and "Banjul Jul Brew".

Light yellow colour, small white head. Malty sweet aroma, grain and straw. Malty sweet flavour, bit light body, but quite fresh. Short finish. Quite as can be expected from a tropical lager.

Bottle. Pours clear straw yellow colored with a small white head. Aromas of citrus, cardboard and hay. Crisp and clean flavor with notes of tap water.. Thanks Rasmus!

Had this on holiday 6 years ago in The Gambia. Where the weather between 10 and 4 is from 30-47 degrees centigrade this beer is actually ideal to drink. It lacks an aroma but has a dry refreshing finish.

Tasted fresh and crisp with a bit of flavour. A welcome respite at the end of the day.

Bottle Light yellow pour. Met a little short white head. Aroma of corn and grassy hops. Slightly sweet and refreshing taste.

0.33 l bottle, thanks Ismo E! Pale golden color. Mild aroma with honey, pepper, tart fruitiness, paper ans white wine. Honeyish and papery flavor with some tarness. Almost no hops in the aroma and flavor.
