Bottle. Pours a bright gold with a small head and low carbonation. Very malty aroma leads into a sugary taste and a somewhat clingy mouthfeel. Overall, I found this a poor lager. Only worth it to be able to tick off another country on the list!

Pours a typical straw-yellow, but the head is nice and thick and sticks around for a bit. Aroma is crisp and malty, rather typical of a lager except there is a fruity hint. Flavor is malty, about average for a lager, but better than the typical mega-brew lager. It feels a little thin and watery, but is still pleasant to drink.

Taste is just like good ole keystone... fun to try because it is from Kenya but not as interesting as the bottle or name...drink it for the the hell of it just dont have any expectations.

12 oz bottle. Pours a pale yellow with a frothy pillow like white head. Aroma is grass, grain and corn. Taste is grassy, malt with a hint of fruit. Best for warm weather, maybe a lawn mowing.

Pours a very pale light yellow with a bubbly wispy short lived head. Smell is light grassiness and light malt. Simple, but pleasant. Taste is very light and malty and not too sweet like many pale lagers. Thin grassy flavors and almost lightly acidic. Decent for a pale lager, but still not one of my favorites even within the style...

12 oz. bottle. Pours a crystal clear pale gold with a moderate brilliant white head that lasted nearly until the end of the glass. Aroma of sweetgrass and grain. The flavor is light sweet malt with some grassy hops. Very little bitterness. Thin, watery body. Below average, even for a pale lager.

Bottle, a couple of months past the expiry date. I was surprised at how perfectly decent this was. Grainy with the faintest hint of grassy hops.
