500ml Bottle: I put this off as long as possible but in the words of the great Neil Young .. tonight’s the night. Pours yellow, thin white head. Smells like urine. Taste of bored, tired grainy pale lager with a growing alcohol taste as it warms. No good.

Poured a lifeless pale golden color, with no amount of head. Not much flavor, with a missing finish.

Gold color with a medium head. Light grain aroma. Very fresh grain taste with a little bit of orange on the finish. This was amazingly good for a lawnmower beer.

Bottle. Simply enjoyed trying a beer from East Africa. Generic pale lager but not entirely unpleasant. Flavor was very mild with no real alcohol presence or bitterness on the finish. Color was a little too pale-urine for my tastes. I’ve had worse.

A pleasant surprise here. Certainly one of the best pale lagers I have ever had. Surprisingly malty and no perceivable adjuncts. Considerable carbonation in this clean, golden beer. Crisp finish. Refreshing and what a pale lager should be. Top of its class.

First beer during Cellar’s Wine & Spirits Friday beer tasting of "Lawn Mower Beers." Pours a light golden pale brew with a large white head that dissolves quickly. Not much of any lacing. Flat aroma of light malt, corn, farm straw, and some vegetable. Taste is watery, light body and nearly hops absent. Finish is clean and hardly and bitter aftertaste.

12 ounce bottle into a pint glass, pale golden with a medium, quickly diminishing head. Aroma was of grain and malt. Flavor was dominated by light sweet malt, which fades a bit midway through the glass. I’m not a big fan of pale lager, but you have to try a beer from Kenya if you get the chance. I was pleasantly surprised.

(Bottled) Clear, paleish golden with a smallish, slightly lacy head. Sweetish, slightly corny aroma with mild acidity. Sweetish-malty flavor with some corn and low, mildly aromatic bitterness. Quite light-bodied with mild acidity and slightly foamy carbonation. A clean, easy and reasonably refreshing - but hopelessly boring lager.
