rickgordon (3764) - Göteborg, SWEDEN - FEB 28, 2008
Bottled. Thx omhper! Clear golden colour with bubbly head. Skunky aroma. Pale malty flavour with citrusy maltiness but no hoppiness. Light skunky here. Lacking in most, malt accentuation is a bit of exaggeration.

DKG (1) - USA - AUG 23, 2005 does not count
The beer that built central Africa. The substance of civlization when all about you are running for cover. Without Gala there would be no community development in Chad. It kept Peace Corps volunteer alive and vital. Nothing levels expat Iraqi, CIA and tribal difference like a cold set on the roof othe etoile or under an awning in the rainy season served by three generations of hookers. Gala is Life! I’d import it to the US in a heartbeat!
