Tusker Lager

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

12 oz. bottle. Clean pale malt aroma, seems a bit dusty, and very, very light grassy hop. Pale brassy gold color with a white head that quickly diminished. Medium body; mild, sort of fizzy, carbonation. The flavor is light sweet malt, with some non-grassy, only slightly bitter hop. But in the finish the malt goes a bit veg, and the hop goes a bit bitter. Rather dry finish. Overall the mouth stood up and took notice.

12 oz bottle purchased at Spirits Red Bank. This is with out a doubt the worst looking beer that I have rated to date. Poured a super super thin pale yellow with no visible carbonation and a fizzy quickly diminshing white bubbly head. Aroma is just bad, maybe some malts but it’s just funky in a bad way. Flavor suprisingly isn’t horrible but still not something I enjoyed. Tolerable is a fairly accurate description. Luckily the aftertaste quickly fades and leaves room for you to go get a good beer and forget about this one.

Pours a pale yellow w/ a full froth. Good hangtime and the lacing is full and lasting. Aromas of aged grains. Medium nectar w/ ample soft residual effers. has a nice cotton texture. Malty and very rustic w/ aged citrus and musty malted grains. A buttery flavor appears quickly and lingers. Theres a defined hop bittering that makes the beer more enjoyable. It actually makes it taste more fresh. The finish is bittered nicely w/ velvety hops. Overall: it’s actually quite complex for such a boring style. The game play between the aged, rustic character and the fresh hops is enjoyable.

12 oz bottle from bevmo. Pours a a very pale yellow with a lacy white head that quickly vanishes. Pretty much NO aroma. Very little flavor, just sort of a sweet metallic effect. No hops. Light prickly carbonation. Thin and watery palate. No finish. It just hardly gets any worse than this.

bottle. golden. carbonated. very thin head. grain, rice, mild yeast, lemon aroma. light and sweet. almost tart. I might have this again but if I did Im sure I’d be in Kenya.

VERY pale in colour no head apart from a couple of tiny islands of thin bubbles in the middle of the glass. Virually no aroma or flavour. Thin and watery, a sort of Kenyan Bud. Tesco Galashiels, cant remember the price but considering the lack of anything, it’s overpriced!

Golden colour with large head.Aroma of hops,has a taste of grass and hay really crispy beer but still o.k African pils.

Bottle courtesy of Acknud. Pours gold with a white head. Smells of corn, sweet malt, some apples. Tastes of corn, sugar, honey some citrus. Finish is slightly bitter. Surprisingly full bodied for a pale lager.
