1.1 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 3/20
Noticed right away upon popping the cap: skunky hops. Not a good sign as far as I’m concerned. That’s about all I can smell. It’s not as strong as a Grolsh but still strong. Slight off gold pour with a very thin head. Taste lives up to the scent. Again not a good thing for me. This is just not my style of drink. Watery, grainy and skunky. Worst beer I’ve had in a long time. Anyone want to finish this for me?
2.2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
Nothing much to speak of in the aroma. Standard watery lager/pilsner flavor.

2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
Bottle - small foamy head, pale straw color, typical pale lager type flavor, probably a little more flavorful than the macro stuff - not bad, especially since you don’t see many beers from Africa very often
2.1 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 1/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
Homme, I thought I already did this beer. Smell is a little off, from a bottle. Yes, typical old beer flavors. Reminds me a little of king lager but not quite as rude. Usual pale lager appearance. Palate is almost watery but never quite gets there. Happy black elephant with circled R says this is ok beer. 4% rating on this is fairly light alky content for the feel of this brew, seems like +5%. Shell chalky finish.
4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
12oz bottle poured into a pint glass.
Appearance is a slightly hazy light straw with a smallish head but excellent lacing.
Smells slightly sweet with slight corny notes along with some hay and grass. Also a bit of lemon.
Taste is light bready grain along with A light grassyness from the hops. Also some light lemony citrus flavors. There is a moderate bitterness throughout leading to a nice dry finish.
This is quite an enjoyable beer and very good for the style. Definitely a thirst quencher perfect for a hot day.
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
(bottle) clear light yellow flavour with small white head; faint floral aroma; clean but faint flavour; inoffensive but watery
2.6 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
500ml bottle. pours clear yellow. Aroma of straw, malt, corn, and some fruit. Taste is extremely sweet (artificial?) minimal bitterness. mild sourness with average carbonation. Overall a somewhat "fake" tasting beer. but I enjoyed the sweetness.
