Sep 30, 2008 Bottled@SBWF2008. Golden colour, small white head. Aroma is hops, malts and some quit sweet vegetably notes. Flavour is much the same, with some hoppyness. Quite clean for being African.

Jul 30, 2008 This is another nice, basic Ethiopian lager, although I find it more bland and less enjoyable than, say, Harar or Meta. It is golden straw colour with a fairly big, creamy, white head that slowly shrinks to a permanent thin top and leaves a little weak lace. The aroma is basically a decent lager aroma with light grain/bread and grapes. The taste is similar with some light bread and grain, plus a light grape juice and cheap wine element, hay, and mineral plus a faint grassy bitterness to add to the predominant sweetness. It’s light and uninteresting but pretty drinkable and pleasant.

Nov 10, 2007 Golden body with a soft sparkle; not much head. Plasticy, painty phenols mix with husky malts in an aroma that reminds me of Soviet-era factories lurching along in the Stans forty years beyond obsolescence. There’s some faint hop on the palate to add colour to the fairly lifeless bready malts, overt minerals and lingering phenols. And the poor rastaman who journeys all the way to Zion to find them drinking "batty" beer...

Apr 2, 2007 Bottled at Chris_O Fest March 2007. A light straw coloured lager. The aroma is grassy, but there are sickly notes. The taste has a reasonable hit of hop and more grassy notes. Nothing shabby, but it’s not kick-arse.

Mar 22, 2007 (Bottle 33 cl) Pours a clear, deep golden with a tall, dense and lasting head leaving a good lacework. Lightly sweet malt aroma. Very light and watery body with notes of malt and brewing cereal and a tiny, wee whiff of hops. Tasted at The Axum Cafe in San Francisco. 210307
