If this stuff was brewed since 1922, then it was originally made in British East Africa. I’ll give it some extra overall points just because 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.

Oct 13, 2008 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.

Oct 12, 2008 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.

Oct 9, 2008 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.

does not count  Sep 27, 2008 Updated: Oct 10, 2008Bottle 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.

Sep 5, 2008 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.
