Tusker Lager

355 ml (bottled Nov 30, 2006). Clear straw-colored lager with small head. Aroma is mild, but some typical lager yeast and hops come through with a whiff of honey. Taste is more balanced (and less skunky-hoppy) than most pale lagers. Refreshingly malty for a lager, and not so mouth-puckeringly dry as most. Body is also pleasantly larger than expected. Nice lager for someone who doesn’t usually like pale lagers.

500ml bottle - Pours lightly hazy yellow with a medium sized head that quickly fades to thin, then hangs around awhile. The aroma is skunky corn and some light hops. The flavor is mostly sweet corn and again has a touch of hops. It’s on the thin and watery side, though not as bad as some pale lagers. This is an old bottle, so I’m trying not to be too hard on it, but it looks like from the average ratings here that my impressions aren’t far off.

Corney skunky smell. Bland body with a skunky hint. A typical bland lager, nothing special.

For a pale lager, this brew is quite distinctive. The color was lighter than expected with a thin yet long lasting head. The aroma was a very pronounced and marvelous molasses. The taste was much the same, with little variation, although the grains show through toward the end. Other ratings seem to be all over the place on this one. I’d say it is excellent for the genre, but perhaps not everyone’s favorite. It certainly is not worse than Budweiser as some might suggest.

well i guess this is an okay lager. decent body bit of a malt flavor. Nice story on the back how one of the original brewers was killed by an elephant, hence the name. ha ha.

Pours a opaque yellow color, with a white head. Rich malty flavor, with hints of hops and fruits in the aftertaste. Well rounded lager. Medium bodied finishes clean.

I love this stuff, every time I go to Kenya, I make sure to drink as much and stock up as much as I can, its an African Lager, just enjoy!!!! Update! I have just received a few cans and bottles straight from Kenya!!! **DISCLAIMER** Yes I know that most people won’t like this, but I travel to Kenya a lot and this is a seriously good beer by their beer standards...
