Moderate malty aroma. Large frothy initial appearance. White head color. Fair lasing, mostly diminishing. Clear body. Body hue is pale yellow. Sweet light initial flavour. Palate light to medium.

Chilled 330ml bottle. Never tried a Kenyan beer before, but there’s a first for everything. Really odd aroma! Smells like tree bark and corn! Pale gold body with some whispy lace. Taste isn’t too bad considering; sweet honey-like malt beginning of a slightly watery body, a tiny hint of leafy hops, and a dry rice/corn finish. Nothing interesting here, but you could do alot worse!

Had never tried a beer from Kenya, so this was wroth it from that standpoint. However, it really was not much different from a BMC nmacro lager, except that it wasn’t quite so heavy on the graqin. Poured a sparkling golen yellow, with some carbonation, a thin head and okay lacing. Some hops in the aroma, but nothing dominant. Likewise with the flavor. Not too much on the mouthfeel or finish. Kenya is much better known for their long distance runners than for their beer, and Tusker beer illustrates why.

This beer is straw colored, with a light head of white foam. Little lacing. Mild vegetal aroma. Not a bad tasting beer, a little bit of sweet honeymalt, a little wheat, some kind of lemongrass flavor, and a gentle, floral hop presence. Light bodied, smooth, clean

Pale yellow with very little foam at all. Looks like piss. Smells like Budweiser. Very watery, “It’s like if you cut Bud Light half and half with water,” – Brad. It’s hard to pinpoint any kind of taste at all. Mouthfeel is terrible. Bad beer in every sense.

bottle: Got this one in the annual beer exchange.....pretty typical of beers from hot climates: pale, very drinkable, little character. etc......Pale yellow colour....slight malty finish....nothing to write home about.....probably not worth the risk of drinking a Kenyan product.

When this beer first came out it was a very clean distinctive enjoyable beer. However, lately since it has been so mass produced I have found its taste has disappeared.
