Tusker Lager

Brewed by Kenya Breweries (East African Breweries)
Style: Pale Lager
Nairobi, Kenya

Bottled. Sampled at Delirium café, Gothenburg, Sweden. Pale golden. Papery, cardboard-nose. Dry and thin. Not very interesting at all.

As my Kenyan colleagues would say: "my country, my beer!" If this was the beer that one associates with Kenyan identity, I would be ashamed to admit I"m from Kenya. Let’s just hope the country is better than the beer, which is without any character.

This beer tastes like dirt! Really, dirt. I looked at the bottle and it was bottled in Kenya--that means they’re probably using Kenyan water. With dirt in it. Really, I’m surprised I didn’t get cholera from drinking this. I immediately regretted my decision to order this, but I finished it, cursing Kenya Breweries all the way for putting this in a 16oz bottle. This is the worst beer I have ever had, on account of the dirt flavor. It might have been decent otherwise.

Clear pale gold colour with fast fading rocky white head.Tangy mild malt nose. Tangy malt taste with bitter sweet finish.

Not bad, middle-of-the-road. Pale gold, bready aroma predominates. Malt-dominated palate, a little too sweet. Better when served ice cold.

Golden yellow appearance. Dryish, reasonably refreshing and left no lacing.Inoffensive and bland.

Another example of one that probably would taste really awesome in it’s home country- perhaps while os a safarii to hunt elephabts for their ivory.

500ml bottle: Poured a very pale yellow color lager with nice foamy with head with better retention then expected. Aroma of malt and hops are very faint and almost non-existent. Taste is refreshing with some malt and very little hops. The surprising thing about this one is that it is not skunk even though is traveled 5000 miles in a light brown bottle.
