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...

I’d like to say this was "elephantastic," but that’s not the case. Mostly inoffensive, foreign macro-style, sweetish and somewhat floral light-tasting lager with a green apple presence. Thin and not very interesting. Then again, pale lagers = the most overcrowded and dismally boring beer style on this goddamn planet, so what do you expect?

Pours clear gold, frothy head that dissipates quickly. Richer aroma than flavor. Light and airy in the mouth, but there’s nothing unpleasant about it. Citrusy aftertaste.

12 oz bottle. Pours light gold. Creamy white head that fades quite quickly. Smells like toast. Tastes sour and doughy. Minimal hops and malt. Quite thin. Unspectacular lager.

Pours a three finger white head that fades quickly to a thin layer leaving some lace. Clear pale amber color. Light carbonation and light-medium bodied. Slight skunky nose. Starts sweet, hops are hidden, not an American lager, sweet corn finish, would make a good lawn mower beer. $1.95 for a 12oz bottle from Colonial Spirits Acton, Ma.

not much of an aroma, with a slightly wheaty flavour, makes it a good lager. my first kenyan beer.

Bottle from argo0. Pours very clear and very pale with a medium sized white head. The aroma is honey, dough and light grassy hops. The flavor is fairly dry, grassy hops, light bread and slightly metalic especially on the finish. Light body with high carbonation.
