3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Pours gold with a thin white head. Smells of strawberries, sweet corn, appley. Tastes sweet and malty with a watery finish.

Vs Pilsner Urquell. Still yellowy gold with a high turreted head and impressively persistent lacing. Kolsch-like slight aroma involving sweet candyish malt, grassy hop, pale nuttiness, cork, hay, sweetcorn. Pleasant grassy pale lager far-removed from the cocktail of adjuncts I was expecting, with a decent nibble of pilsy hop bitterness. Definite soft conifer and bitterness to finish, no corn even if it’s there. Enjoyable, faintly candyish, grassy and refeshing. Not to mention preferable to 95% of the maize-flavoured yellow fizz marketed as lager in the UK and most of Europe.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
31st May 2007
Warning! Early amateur rating! Brewed and bottled in Lagos. Flavoursome aromatic lager. A cut above lots of lagers.
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Bottle. Golden with a chemical aroma on opening. Slightly metalic flavour which was quite worrying. Not a pleasant experience and one I wont be
repeating again.
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Pale yellow beer with a nice white head. But the beer has a minimal opalescent character... Some yeast in the beer?Sourish yeast character in the nose with some buttery yeast perfume. Watery texture, sweet malt and honey taste, hop in the finish. Drinkable but not an exciting one.
2.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Bottle. Slightly sour malt aroma - not bad. Medium yellow color with moderate head. Mild malt flavor - moderate carbonation. Fairly bland - interesting to know about the sorghum law although I can’t really detect it. Not unpleasant - a good enough beer.
2.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 8/20
Bottle, 60 cl, bought in an African shop in Enschede. Golden color. Fresh aroma with even a bit of flowery hops. Blandish but decent flavor with a light grassy hop character. Short aftertaste. Better as expected.
2.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
Can from Beers of Europe. Rather nice hoppy cereal biscuit aroma and good golden yellow colour. However let down by a very poor bland dry flavour nad poor aftertaste.
