This is quite pleasant, against my expectations at finding a box of Kenyan lager on the floor of Bottle Barn. It is golden, bubbly at 1st, with a moderate, bubbly white head that dissipates fairly quickly. The aroma is mild, being bread dough with a hint of lemon/citrus. The tate is mild malt with plenty of grain, a hint of bitterness and a mild but pleasant, lingering flowery aftertaste. It is a bit watery and fizzy but still has a lively palate and makes up for the defects in flavour and aroma. It’s very pleasant and refreshing and would be great in hot weather.

Light gold with nice white head. Fruity malty aroma with hints of banana. Some cardboard developes in mouth. Sweet flavour and sweet finish.

Cold 500ml bottle: Pours a clear golden yellow color with small alabaster bubbles mostly around the edges with some lacing. Aroma and taste are of sweet malt and hay with citrus and floral notes. Well carbonated. Crisp and refreshing. Sweet, floral ending.

500ml Bottle: I put this off as long as possible but in the words of the great Neil Young .. tonight’s the night. Pours yellow, thin white head. Smells like urine. Taste of bored, tired grainy pale lager with a growing alcohol taste as it warms. No good.

Has a pale golden color. Aroma is bitter, vinegar, and slight hops. Taste is of light malts, watered down English ale flavor. Has a vinegary aftertaste. Nothing special at all.

I think this beer is getting a bad wrap from most of the posters. I find that it is extremely refreshing and quite satsifying. There is not one specific thing that stands out to emphasize this beer as a premium lager, however, it does have a great taste, and the last time I checked, taste in a beer is the most important thing! Try this on eon a hot summer day and you will enjoy the refreshing taste of Tusker.
