Tusker Lager

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

I really wan’t expecting much from this beer, and I really didn’t get much. Pours a clear yellow with a thin froathy head. Aroma is really weak notes of grass and hops. The flavour is weak malts. The one thing I can say is that it’s refreshing, which makes sense considering its from africa. But thats all it is. Won’t buy this beer again.

Pale yellow pour. Thin quickly vanishing head. Grass and weak malt notes in the aroma. Very simple with not much going on in the flavor, but it works. Would be a good hot summer session beer. Refreshing.

AVAILABLE AT DISNEY ANIMAL KINGDOM FLA. JUST A RUN OF THE MILL LAGER TYPE BREW THAT IS CHALKY AND EFFERVESENT LIKE AN ALKA SELTZER. THE FLAVOR IS DULL. THERE YOU HAPPY NOW I’VE GOT YOUR 75 CHARACTERS IN AND THE ELEPHANT IS CRYING...

Pretty unimpressive. Pale gold pour with a thin white head that lasted a moderate amount of time. Lots of small, vigorous bubbles recharging the head for a good three minutes. Bottle is quite attractive; the colour scheme of the label fits the brown bottle well. Aroma is faintly reminiscent of sour milk; not so great. Flavour is almost entirely absent, only a slightly hoppy aftertaste reminds one that one is drinking beer. Palate is cheap soda. Carbonated to an extreme but thin and sticky. I wouldn’t buy this beer again, but I guess I’d drink it on a hot day after I’d already had a few better beers. ;)

Bottle. Pours an extremely pale yellow with a small, acceptable white bubbly head. Aroma is weak, there is some hay and malts in there. Flavour is extremely mild as well. It is not poor, but just more or less non-existent.

Bottle: pours pale yellow, with a medium white head. Weak, light aroma, weak light flavor. Mostly weak bitterness. Thin as water, no lingering finish, no nothing. Goes well with pretzels and not bad icy cold on a really hot day. Just another boring lager. At least there’s no chemical aftertaste like in certain major brands...

This beer is never going to be considered a great beer but it isn’t bad at all. It has a nice crispness and a honey flavor that is pleasant. Grass is also evident. In the mouth it has an initial carbonated zing that quickly fades into a sour taste. An interesting pale lager, partly because it was brewed in Kenya.

Straw with an OK head. The aroma has notes of straw, perfumed flower, and the flavour has a light sweetness, is slightly perfumed with notes of malt and a very light bitterness. 2241
