Tusker Lager

got from the LS ... pours with a great big healthy head ... lacing is quite supreme, good start here ... has some corn and a hop smell similar to saaz ... some sweetness in the chewer ... is a very refreshing lager beer, also has a low to medium crispness ... not bad stuff, i can see drinking this in Nairobi...

33cl bottle. It poured a very pale yellow colour with a medium big foamy head that settled down fast in the glass. It has a very faint aroma of sweet corn. The flavour is thin and watery and tastes of corn that that has been soaked in sugar. It has a non-existant aftertaste. Stay away unless you really want to taste a beer from Kenya.

Bottle (of course). This’ll be simple: Avoid this beer unless you (like I at the time) have some other reason to add a Kenyan beer to the fridge or a tasting menu. Smells like rotten grain and corn and taste like watered down rotten grain or corn. I’m a big fan of African spices but I wouldn’t do them the injustice of serving African spiced foods with this beer. Yes, it’s worse than our domestic pale lagers - well... maybe not worse than Keystone or Natural Light.

Bottle. Pours a crystal clean golden in color, very small white head. The aroma is minimal with just a hint of malty sweetness. The flavoor is not much different with just a touch of grassy hops added to the party. It is a bit thin, light in body, but highly drinkable, ending in a clean finish.

Pours golden with a large white head. Aroma is pale malt and a very small amount of head. Taste is almost all pale malt, not a terrible brew but nothing special.

From the bottle while sitting in the airport in Nairobi during a REALLY long layover. Slightly more flavor that Bud Light. Didn’t hate it, but not one I would buy even if it were available where I live.

Bottle from local shop. Pours a large, frothy head. Very faint spice aroma, strangely - brought to mind walking past the Taj Stores in Brick Lane. Appearance almost unnaturally gold/yellow. Very thin taste with the faintest hint of malt. Not much flavour to be savoured. Refreshing, but then so is water.

At EPCOT at a beer station. GROSS!!!! It was a typical pale lager, but truly skunky in its aroma. The flavor had a dirt-like quality to it, maybe from poor water in the brewing?? Never again.
