Best east african beer, in my oppinion. Not quite a german quality, but it gets closer and closer...

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.

Bottled. Not much aroma except some sweet malts. Golden color, white head, fair lace. Rather sweet and lightly hopped for a lager, nice mouthfeel, pretty malty. Indeed an OK lager.
