Light color matches the light body of this Kenyan beer. It’s reasonably crisp and refreshing, with a surprisingly good bitterness. It is what it is.

Bottle, 500ml. A pale golden colour with a medium-sized head. Aroma is light musty hops. Taste is slightly hoppy with rice notes and some sweetness. Somewhat watery. I fail to see why this was worth importing - just another boring lager.

Taste like a beer righ out of Africa. The Only real reason to purchase this beer is 1). it has Alcohol in it 2). you can add it to ur Ratings & 3). The labels story of the origins of the name "Tusker" is deffinatley something fun to do wile drinking a not so good beer. At least the story cancels ur chances of Buyers Remorse.

12oz bottle-pours a disappearing white head and yellow color. Aroma is sweet corn/grain. Taste is sweet corn/grain-caramel, secondary light hops. Good carbonation.

Pours an ever-so-slightly green yellow (I even consulted some others in the room to make sure I hadn’t lost my mind). The head poured nicely despite having a very-soapy appearance, but dissapated very quickly. It smells like my bottled was slightly skunked. The taste is very thin and watered-down. The mouthfeel is oddly slick. I detect a slight copper and a little bit of hops shining through. Not much of an aftertaste, but on the other hand, not much taste either. There’s just something off about this beer. I can’t say I’d ever have it again or recommend it. Far too expensive at the LCBO for this--$2.85 Canadian per bottle.

Special thanks to AndoBrew, who brought this beer, along with many others, back from his recent trip to Africa, the Dark Continent. Appearance: Pours a clear, golden body with a... white head? Hmm. Curious. Smell: This smells exactly like the White Cap lager produced by the same Kenyan brewery. Taste: This tastes almost identical to the White Cap lager. Very mild malt taste with an equally light sweetness. Hint of stale grain husks and flowers. The finish holds tastes of chicken broth and simmered veggies. Mouthfeel: Light-bodied. Medium carbonation. Drinkability: Another okay, but odd African lager!
