Tusker Lager

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

Very very fizzy and very very yellow. Sweet and grainy. Like bad apple juice. Hooray new country!

Pours a pale, clear yellow with a sizable, loose, frothy, white head. This is, by far, the lightest colored beer that I’ve had in quite some time. The nose is a muted, sweet malt with a hint of apple and faint grassy hops. The palate is light-bodied and thin with soft carbonation and a lightly drying and somewhat metallic finish. This is certainly better than any macro lager that I’ve ever tried. The flavor is of sweet malt, without the "off" adjunct notes found in so many other pale lagers. It finishes quite cleanly without any lingering flavors. This is an easy-drinker that is certainly among the top tier of pale lagers that I’ve sampled, to date. At nearly two bucks a bottle, there are a lot of other beers that I’d rather invest my money on, but I wouldn’t turn one of these down if it were offered to me.

Bottled 50cl. It pours a pale yellow beer with a big fizzy white head. Lively carbonation. The nose is grainy, sour and metallic with notes of vegetables, burnt tyres and caramel. The taste is very thin and sweet with hints of apple juice. Sour. The finish is herbal, buttery with notes of grain, burnt tyres and vegetables.

Bottled. A pale gold coloured lager with no head. The aroma is sweet and sickly. A bit of sour milk also. The taste is also sweet. Not as sickly as the smell, but there’s still a certain dairy type oddness to it. Dodgy.

Bottle shared by EDA. A new country here. A truly odd aroma, massivly marzipan and little else, save some . Still appealing and totally unique. Flavor drops right into the expected, though, with a harsh palate that thankfully masks the pissy lager taste. Thick and juicy, not much like your typical american BS.

bottle. Aroma is celery. flAvor isn’t the worst beer in the world. A lot of sweet malts and some lemon.

Bottle. Pours a clear pale yellow color with a small white head. Sweetish malty aroma with some grassy hints. Sweet malty grainy flavor with some grassy hints. Sweetish malty finish.
