Very light golden in color, clear. Very little aroma. Not too good. Definite off flavors (butterscotch/diacetyl mainly)and not too great of a beer even without the off flavors.

It’s not bad, but it is not good either, your typical macrobrew lager, just this time it if from Kenya. Slightly sweetened maybe by corn flavors.

Bottle. Mild malty aroma. Light yellow body, large white head. Flavor is slightly sweet and malty. Quite mild and watery.

Best beer in Kenya, that being said beers suck there. But on a nice hot day after a safari its great. I can fantasize about being a white hunter, colonial bureaucrat, or Mau Mau rebel while drinking this. Dark yellow color with a thin white head. Bready malty, slightly acidic aroma. Clean, malty taste with a slight sour bitterness. Very refreshing beer, tastes similar to a Kirin or an unskunked European green bottle beer. But still has rice and corn in it. Ok in Kenya but took some bottles home and well it was not great there.

Pours with a light brown hue that sits below a small head that is mostly diminshing. Aroma is of wet dog, rice, wheat, and lots of yeast! Flavor is of hay, water, - no real taste to the beer actually. Light mouthfeel with fizzy carbonation. hmmmm. better than the casa beer, but still pretty bad!

Weak, but better than that last pale lager from Africa I just had. Pours with a white head that stays around a bit before fading to a ring. Troubled lacing. Very pale yellow body. Aroma is adjunct, toast and stale malt with a touch of wet dog. Taste, well there really isnt one, just carbonated water. Some butter and toast if I am really stretching things. Fizzy.

Small bottle at Ghana Cafe in DC. Better body than most developing country lagers, decent hops in the finish. I would like to try the domestic Kenyan version.
