Bottle. Aroma is boiled vegetables and malt. The first displeasing aroma disappears after a few seconds to leave a very bland and somewhat grainy aroma. Clear pale yellow with a medium frothy white head with good retention and average lacing. Flavor is fruity with water malt, and some hop bitterness in the aftertaste. Thin body and watery mouthfeel.

Bottle shared with DuffmanSW. Pours clear yellow gold with a soapy white head that dissipates fast. Aroma has some sweet pound cake and cheesecake that is pleasing, but not much else. Flavor is very light and a little sweet, bready and clean. Palate is thin and watery but carbonation is nice. For a pale lager that I would generally hate, this is better than average. Still don’t think I’d buy again.

Bottle thanks to Mspindler...Pours like a golden shower (not that I know what that looks like or anything)...Kinda sweet in the nose.. Bready tasting.. pretty light and and not too hard to drink... Would not buy again unless I ended up in Kenya for some reason..

Pours a light golden color with a white head. Not much aroma on this one. What is present is grainy with a slight hint of floral hops. Flavor is almost nonexistent. It’s almost like drinking carbonated water.

Pours a frothy white head which falls fairly quickly. Body is pale straw yellow. Light on flavor. Reminds me somewhat of Coors Light.

Samped in a 12oz in California. Not bad for african brews but still quite bad. Has a really harsh bite to it. I think this is probably because of the fact that it had to be sent to the US and is probably a bit old. Yellow with a big amoutn of head. Bottle really blew open and foamed out before i could even pour. Worth a try, really cool logo.

Bottle. This is light and golden in the glass, slightly hazy with a small, disappearing head. There’s a slight skunkiness in the aroma with corn. The flavour is very sweet, malty with some more corn, a vague nuttiness and a short finish.
