COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Brewed in Kenya since 1922. Medium alcohol beer that is a favorite choice for many occasions.

Pours a pale yellow w/ a full froth. Good hangtime and the lacing is full and lasting. Aromas of aged grains. Medium nectar w/ ample soft residual effers. has a nice cotton texture. Malty and very rustic w/ aged citrus and musty malted grains. A buttery flavor appears quickly and lingers. Theres a defined hop bittering that makes the beer more enjoyable. It actually makes it taste more fresh. The finish is bittered nicely w/ velvety hops. Overall: it’s actually quite complex for such a boring style. The game play between the aged, rustic character and the fresh hops is enjoyable.

I really like this beer. Perhaps it is a product of my affinity for the African continent, but I find this beer extremely refreshing. It is not the best beer in the world (clearly), but I don’t think it is as bad as some of the ratings it has received. It’s biting enough, smooth enough, and, if served very cold, refreshing enough for a warm afternoon in Kenya, or southern Louisiana. In my opinion: a great lager when served cold, worthy of many tastes. A bit pricey, though.

Bottle: Not a bad lager. Sweet grainy, malty flavor. Pretty standard lager that would be easy to drink on a warm day.

after a long day of hard and sweaty yard work, nothing taste better than a frosty, cold, refreshing, average Tusker Lager. Thx Kenya!

Pours a light gold with very little head. Large carbonation which leaves a mouthfeel more like a soda. Taste of hops with light citrus undertones.

Bottle. Light gold pour with a half inch head that lasts for a while. At least five minutes. Aroma is pleasant. A little fruity and sweet. Flavor is of club soda, sugar water, and a little bit of hop bitterness. The carbonation is high and the body is light and a little watery. The first sip was a little too sweet, but after that initial sip the sweetness died down a little. Overall not too bad.
