Not bad; I was expecting a really crappy lager. It’s light, has some hops bitterness with a tinge of skunk, and there’s also some sort of fruity note as well.

Read in a beer book that this was interesting due to a lemony note to the taste. Bad book. Bad beer. Probably good if you’re baking under the hot sun in the wilds of Kenya and on the verge of dehydrating.

This was average, but for the price of it I should’ve gotten a lot more, it was just like a budweiser and way too pricey. It went down fine but I won’t get it again didn’t impress me at all.

Pours a pale gold color, decent tan head that quickly becomes rocky, fairly activ e carbonation. Aroma is sweet, light, and malty, very little hop presence. Flavor is pretty much the same as aroma, with a slight floral thing happening. Light and refreshing.

Big, blossoming, sturdy ,crackling head. Transparent, yellow hue. Aroma is fresh, floral, honeyish, zesty and uplifting. Taste is clean, light bodied, everything one expects from a decent lager. A bit like SingHa, actually. This must go down well in African heat, just as perfectly intelligent North American beer fans will quaff a Crud Light or Swiller Genuine Crap in the summertime.

Bottle at Pier 32. Poured a medium size white head, fair lacing, carbonated, transparent, and a yellow hue. Mild malt and hoppy aroma. Bland, boring malty thin flavor. Mouthfeel was slightly tingly. Light bodied beer. Unimpressive.

Yellow with a slight haze and a big white head. Aroma of bread/corn/malt. Flavor of sweet malt. Watery

Straw color carbonated body topped with a decent and lasting foamy head. Weak malty/hoppy aroma with some floral hints. Boring watery/malty taste with a short bitter final. Smooth and refreshing, but not a graet beer. I like the label and the "Beer only" bottle.
