UPDATED: FEB 18, 2012 600 ml strange bottle in Dakar, Senegal. Oh my what did I find here. pours an almost white clear color with a slight and I mean very slight yellow tint. Aroma is a a cross of burning rubber and old compost. Taste is a little better but not by much. Old plant matter some out of place chemicals. Palate is a bit offnsive. For all of you that gave this beer a nice rating just because you fell sorry from where it hails shame on you. This is one of the worst beers I have ever had.

UPDATED: FEB 22, 2012 From bottle at RBESG Grand Tasting, held at Dean Swift, on 7 August 2011. No surprises here. Pale gold colour. A little fizzy. Some adjuncty notes in the aroma. Relatively clean on the palate. A fairly standard tropical lager but not the worst. At least that’s Senegal ticked off.

Bottle @ RBESG 2011 Grand Tasting at Dean Swift, Tower Bridge SE1. Pours a pale yellow color with a small white head. Has a fruity grainy aroma. Sweetish grainy malty flavor. Has a sweetish grainy finish.

UPDATED: FEB 19, 2012 Boring standard lager looks. Metallic aroma, grainy. Watery body. With seemingly very low alcohol. Big, funny bottle. (Bottle in Marseille) (Rating re-indexed)

Dean Swift - RBESG Tasting. Clear pale gold beer. Little white head. Very light palate, semi crisp. Cheap lager mild paper and cardboard. Trace of citrus. Dry finish. Pretty rough but not definitely not disgusting!

Bottle at RBESG 2011 Grand Tasting at The Dean Swift, London. Pours clear, light yellow with almost no head. Dough and corn. Mild grass. Mild carboard. Light bodied with fine carbonation. An extremely simple beer.

Bottle (RBESG2011 Grand Tasting)
Super farty aroma. Simple malt body. A touch sweet. Cleaner than might be inferred from the comments by others round the table. Finish has a dry papery tingle. Had a lot worse, but wouldn’t chose to have this.

630 ml green bottle shared by Travlr: Pours a clear golden with a few stray while bubbles. Has a mildly skunky, slightly grainy nose. Starts with a thin bland mild grainy malty body with grassy hop notes and a dry bitter finish. Needs more body and balance.
