500 ml Bottle. Aroma was pure Budweiser to me. Taste, fortunately has a bit more smoothness to it. Nothing offensive in this one, not much flavor either. Weird factor of Kenya probably give this a couple of points for me. WARNING - DO NOT LET THIS BEER WARM UP.

Unpleasantly briny, rusty baked bean tin nose. Some stale vegetable notes and cold bean sugariness coming through, but also an inoffensively malty graininess. Very watery and soft, but quite creamily bodied. I’m warming to it a little. But beers this bland just don’t work in the English winter.

500 mL bottle. Quite pale in colour. Aroma of grain, citrus and yeast? Not bad, for a lager. Crisp. Only faint hints of corn and sugar(?) (until it warms). Finish has a touch of bitterness, but is mostly flat.

Bright yellow gold color, with a frothy white head, leaving laces, sweet corny nose, with a pale malt aroma follows through on a medium-bodied palate with a mild sweet pale malt character, faint hay note, leading towards a crisp refreshing, subtle hops bitterness finish.

500ml bottle. Pours out a bright yellow color with a small white head. Smell is sweet, apples, corn, wheat. Taste is similar, smooth and refreshing, fruity and full of corn and wheat. Pretty nice lager, not the best but its above budweiser. Pretty cool to have something from Kenya as well..

Cold 500ml bottle: Pours a clear golden yellow color with small alabaster bubbles mostly around the edges with some lacing. Aroma and taste are of sweet malt and hay with citrus and floral notes. Well carbonated. Crisp and refreshing. Sweet, floral ending.
