Tusker Lager

I really enjoy beer, but it was hard to enjoy this one, very bland, boring beer, almost tasted like dirty water, I really wanted to like it, but it was bad! I want to try some different African beers!

This is definitely marathon watching beer. Basically what I expected when I read the label, slightly skunky, mild malt and hop lager, nothing special, borderline awful.

Bottle. Allright, now I have Kenya. Hazy yellow, typical third-world country lager looking. Slightly skunky smell, Rolling Rock-esque canned corn taste. Sweet, malty, bland, mushy.

Pours a hazed yellow with a medium frothy white head. Aroma seems it me a bit skunked and not much else. Maybe some light hint of corn flakes as it warms. The taste is essentially a slightly more bitter BMC. Some sweetened notes and more grain in the taste but a slight bit of bitterness is all that is found. Mouthfeel is a bit on the thin side and the finish semi-sweet. However, it went remarkably well with the smoked turkey and pepperjack sandwich I had with it. Well enough for me to not totally slam it. Also, this would be a nice "lawnmower" beer.

Very faint aroma of sweetish cereal grain. Exceedingly pale yellow color, quite clear with an insubstantive head. Fairly bland crackery flavor, a tinge of sweetness on the finish. No bitterness or hop characteristics. Watery texture. Good for slaking thirst, perhaps.

Plae straw yellow with clinging white head. Lite grainy aroma. Malty lager with medium hop character. Has a dusty, cereal-like quality. Decent hop charactet emerges in finish. Lite, but drinkable with slight sweetness in finish.

Well within the drink by date on the label, but still tastes way off. Horrible rotting cabbage aroma. Tatse is malty but sour, with a metallic, astrigent finish. Dunno bout this one.

Again, another staple beer from Africa. Not quite as fizzy as Zambezi. If I had to choose of the 2, this would be my choice.
