I drank this on the Kwakoe festival in Amsterdam where it was _the_ beer to drink because that festival is a pretty carribean/surinamese affair. Basically, this is yet another one of those beers which probably exist by the hundreds worldwide, and nobody would miss them if they were gone. Nice for the thirst and for getting slightly tipsy while on a festival if you can deal with amazingly boring pils. The fact that it is brewed with rice is it’s only redeeming quality, because ithat does make the grainyness come a cross a bit different from any other standard pils.

Honey and malt aroma. No head. Not much carbonation, grainy mouthful. A standard pilsener.

Clear blond body. White head. Watery looks. Weak aroma. Lightly sweet flavour. Not really bad, just very flat flavour.

1l bottle @ RBBWG 2012, Antwerpen. Thanks to Martinus. Golden blond coloured beer with some light carbonation and a small white head. Sweet grainy almost skunky hinted aroma with some clear veggy hints. Medium palate. Finish is dry sweet with again some veggy characters. Nothing special, had worse ones, had much better ones.

Sampled @ RBBWG Antwerpen. Courtesy of Martinus. Clear yellow / golden color, small white head. Smell and taste malts, grains, hay, slightly bitter. Uninteresting, but hey, it’s a country tick!

14/I/2012 1L bottle @ RBBWG 2012 - BB: 30/VII/11 (2012-28) Thanks to Martinus for bringing the bottle!

Clear blond beer, small white head, unstable, non adhesive. Aroma: sweet corn, some pain, nasty yeast (reminded me of the smell of an old starch factory in Aalst, when I was a kid). MF: ok carbon, light body. Taste: somwe corn, sweet malts, no hops whatsoever. Aftertaste: slim to none, touch of grains if you want.

1 littre bottle sampled @ RBWG 2012 – thx to Martinus – clear golden with a small head – smell is adjuncts, cornflakes, hay, skunky – taste is same with hay & grass – not particularly good but can’t say that I expected much from a pilsner from Suriname besides I have had worse or equally disastrous, some people spend their whole lives drinking stuff like this

65 cl bottle @ RBBWG 2012, Antwerpen courtesy of Martinus. Behold the power of Djogo beer .... couleur dorée claire, col blanc épais. Retrouve toutes les caractéristiques d’une pils, reste assez douce laissant penser à du maïs, en cela pas mauvaise, mais banale. On y retrouve donc un houblon et malt typique, le tout sur une pointe d’amertume.

Little white head, clear golden beer. Straw, old grains, grainsilos, some maltiness. Sweet pale malts, dusty again, old cornflakes, hay. Light bodied, sleazy. Oh, well with icecubes under the Paramaribo hot rain... who knows? There’s worse around.

Bottle: Medium airy white head, disappears quick, on top of a golden colored beer. Smell malts, hops, herbs... Taste is pretty crisp with a medium bitterness and touch of hops, malts. Nice thirstquencher. Like an average pilsener. Didn’t think this was that bad.
