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.

Bottle. Frothy white good mostly lasting head. Pale yellow colour. Light malty and nice hoppy aroma. OK flavor, slight sweet. Short finish. Oily palate. A good pale lager.

I had many cans of this beer while in Kenya and it was most satisfying after a day out on safari.Pours a golden yellow with a white head.Aromas of malt and hops.A bit crisp but not too bitter.I enjoyed it and had many over a period of a week.

pale yellow. large foamy head. sweet malt and honey aroma. very grainy. tastes kind of sweaty and peppery. light hop finish. but for the most part its just your typical lager.

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.

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.

Clear light yellow color with fine head. Not a bad lager . With some malty flavor but at 4.2% its watery.
