| 1.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 2/5 | 3/10 | 2/5 | 8/20 | Sep 25, 2006 Half-liter bottle. Yes, I bought just to cross off another country. Yes, it is urine coloured, a slightly hazy yellow, under a rocky head. Smell is corny, but that’s really the worst of it. Taste is mostly barley pop. Corny again, a bit too sweet. A pinch of bitterness rescues this from failure. Some dregs in the bottle. It’s a novelty beer.

After tasting Tusker, I don’t think Kenya has good water. beergut111 (210), Toronto, Ontario, Canada
| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Sep 4, 2006 Bottle. I had this at a friends house he told me to try it because it was so unique, and tasted different from other beers. He couldnt have been more wrong, tusker tastes like every other lager.

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Aug 26, 2006 I think this beer is getting a bad wrap from most of the posters. I find that it is extremely refreshing and quite satsifying. There is not one specific thing that stands out to emphasize this beer as a premium lager, however, it does have a great taste, and the last time I checked, taste in a beer is the most important thing! Try this on eon a hot summer day and you will enjoy the refreshing taste of Tusker. GG (1619), NorCal, California, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Aug 17, 2006 I can either take this beer or leave it. It didn’t carry anything new with it that I haven’t tasted or seen a hundred times before, but it’s still enjoyable. Aroma was a little bit on the corn side, and slightly sweet but it still had a little interesting flicker of hops to keep things alive. Appearance was an average looking lager, yellowish-gold with little head retention. Mouthfeel was light, refreshing, and clean. Flavor was malty sweet and nothing really offensive. I can see this going down after a hot day, but as a regular beer it’s just too boring.
