Tusker Lager

Brewed by Kenya Breweries (East African Breweries)
Style: Pale Lager
Nairobi, Kenya

Bottle from local shop. Pours a large, frothy head. Very faint spice aroma, strangely - brought to mind walking past the Taj Stores in Brick Lane. Appearance almost unnaturally gold/yellow. Very thin taste with the faintest hint of malt. Not much flavour to be savoured. Refreshing, but then so is water.

At EPCOT at a beer station. GROSS!!!! It was a typical pale lager, but truly skunky in its aroma. The flavor had a dirt-like quality to it, maybe from poor water in the brewing?? Never again.

Bright yellow gold color, with a frothy white head, leaving laces, sweet corny nose, with a pale malt aroma follows through on a medium-bodied palate with a mild sweet pale malt character, faint hay note, leading towards a crisp refreshing, subtle hops bitterness finish.

Got this in a trade...and this is how it tasted..glug glug glug...thats the sound it made as I poured all but 2 sips down the drain. Yuck.

This was light refreshing and an easy drink that I’m sure if I was in the Country, I would indulge in. But I’m not, so I won’t

Bottle from Sam’s Clybourn. Pour is very pale yellow. Nose is mildly musty and hoppish, not hoppy. Taste is cheesy. That’s really all I get out of it, maybe a touch of straw. Pretty not good...

My 1st brew from Africa, not sure what to expect. Was pleasantly surprised. Very smooth & mild. Went down easy. Good companion to to a nice Monte Cristo cigar.

Very light pale malt aroma. Clear light straw with small white head. Light pale malts with honey and touch of spicey nobel hop flavor. Light body and a thin mouthfeel. Moderate carbonation. Clean dry finish with touch of hop bitterness.
