2.3 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 8/20 PeterA (340) - SLOVAK REPUBLIC - APR 29, 2007
Bottle. Chemical aroma, even thought it lists all natural ingredients. Very pale yellow color, with a medium white head that didn’t last terribly long. The flavor was mild and sweet, good for a warm afternoon in Senegal. The mouthfeel was light, with none of the expected stickiness from the sweetness.

ersma: mein land nr. 65, bto-land nr. 123.
"bgi" ist ja sozusagen das inbev afrikas und lässt das "flag" in diversen ländern brauen. ist schön, wenn man jemanden kennt, der beim irk arbeitet, und bei den diversen einsätzen in afrika stets meiner gedenkt und bier mitbringt :-)
blass-gelbe farbe, viel mittelfeiner bis groberer schaum, der eine mäßige halbwertzeit aufweist.
der geruch ist säuerlich-pappig.
süßlicher antrunk mit etwas hopfen. die erwartete pappige note fällt dezenter aus als befürchtet. zur mitte kommt hopfen hinzu, es bleibt aber bis in den abgang süßlich. erst gegen ende übernimmt die herbe das geschehen. das ganze bewegt sich auf geschmacklich dünnem niveau.
die 0.33-l-pulle hat ansprechende etiketten. auf dem rücketikett erfährt der des französischen mächtige, dass flag seit jahrzehnten einenunnachahmlichen erfolg auf dem afrikanischen kontinent hat.
fazit: typisches äquator-lager. eher süffig als aromatisch, wie man es halt mag bei 35 grad im schatten.
2.1 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20 Bif (1023) - St. Louis, Missouri, USA - JAN 28, 2012
Bottle- Pours a light golden color with a small head that fades fast with no real lacing. Mild aroma of malt and grain with a hint of sweetness. Flavor of some malt and grain with a mild bitterness and a dry finish. Light body and smooth. Seems to be the local beer of choice in Dakar. Not as bad as expected. Goes best with a hot afternoon.

330 ml bottle in Senegal. Not as bad as expected. Pours a clear gold color, with rich white head. Grainy aroma. Taste is sweet and grainy and is a surprising full and well rounded beer. Palate is its weak spot with vegetables and cleaner. OK.

This is a typical light lager. It would be a good patio beer, except for the 5.2%abv. From the bottle, it pours clean with a foamy head. Golden in color with a white head that stays around. Flag Speciale has a lightly sweet flavor and a crisp finish. Not quite half bad.

Bottled at Monk’s Café, Stockholm. Clear golden, surprisingly rich head. Grainy lightly grassy nose. Sweet and grainy with a surprising amouynt of substance. Medium bodied with vague notes of vegetables and soap. Low-medium bitterness. Best Flag anywhere?

Shiny white head, pale golden color. Fresh, semi-dry aroma of grain/malt. A scent of lemonade and hay. Taste is medium sweet with a quite crisp maltiness. Notes of sharpish hops and chemicals. Lively mouthfeel. Thin-bodied with a short, dryish end. Far better than expected...

Clear pale yellow body. Mid-high carbonated. Bitterish. Quite grainy and grassy. Addition of lemon is notable. Taste is bit industrial, soapy. Refreshing.

Bottle - 330ml. Pale blond body with a thin white frothy head. Thin malty/hoppy aroma with bready and herbal hints. Its boring taste carries herbal notes and ends with a short metallic finish. Standard, blend African Lager.

flesje. Gekregen van Anita en Annie uit Senegal. Smaakt een beetje naar Nederlands alcoholvrij bier. Het is gewoon niet zulk goed bier.
