This was light refreshing and an easy drink that I’m sure if I was in the Country, I would indulge in. But I’m not, so I won’t

I had this one the first time in Kenya back in 1992 (no notes taken) and finally got the possibility to drink it again - clear bright golden colour, little unregular foam, light aromatic hoppiness, sweet and with a thin body, the finish is short and flat - ttasted better in the Masai Mara between elephants and lions ...

Yellow, little head. Grassy, slightly sugary, finishes lightly bitter and dry.

Clear yellow color, ok head. Hoppy aroma, bit herbal maybe, rice. Taste is sweet watery, hoppy. Quite ok lager actually.

12 oz. bottle. Clean pale malt aroma, seems a bit dusty, and very, very light grassy hop. Pale brassy gold color with a white head that quickly diminished. Medium body; mild, sort of fizzy, carbonation. The flavor is light sweet malt, with some non-grassy, only slightly bitter hop. But in the finish the malt goes a bit veg, and the hop goes a bit bitter. Rather dry finish. Overall the mouth stood up and took notice.

Slightly off aroma, though the exp date was August 03, very pale light lager, with a white head that died quickly. Rather flavorless, and watery palate. Ok, I've had a beer from Kenya, so done that, dont have to do it again.

I’d like to say this was "elephantastic," but that’s not the case. Mostly inoffensive, foreign macro-style, sweetish and somewhat floral light-tasting lager with a green apple presence. Thin and not very interesting. Then again, pale lagers = the most overcrowded and dismally boring beer style on this goddamn planet, so what do you expect?

This may be the stuff that gave me dysentary! Tasted pretty good after spending the day running around in the hot African sun. Pretty weak, which given the heat, was probably a good thing. I might try one again, but wouldn’t go back to Kenya for the beer! My records show May of ’84 for this one!
