(Bottle) Aroma spicy, rich, somewhat complex, but muted. Barely any hops, and only a little maltiness. Very thin body, weak flavor, somewhat rich carbonation. A faint brew. Not terribly exciting, but very different from other mass-produced lagers I’ve tried, although I can’t say I’ve tried more than a few African beers.

This beer offers a sweet but mildly skunky aroma. It is a translucent golden solution with a decent white head. This bitter beer enters the mouth thin and leaves a slight fruit tingle on the tongue.

Bottle at the LCBO - My first African beer! Pours very pale yellow with nearly no head. Aroma is very faint, but you can pick up on some slight malts and grass. The taste is also faint, but somewhat bitter (not in a good way) and simple. Not a great beer, but fairly OK considering it’s from Kenya.

Weak, but better than that last pale lager from Africa I just had. Pours with a white head that stays around a bit before fading to a ring. Troubled lacing. Very pale yellow body. Aroma is adjunct, toast and stale malt with a touch of wet dog. Taste, well there really isnt one, just carbonated water. Some butter and toast if I am really stretching things. Fizzy.

Appearance: Light, clear golden. OK amount of white head. Nice, small bubbles. Aroma: Grain, hint of hops. Not much. Metallic? Taste: Standard lager. Hops and malt. Slightly bitter aftertaste. Info: 500ml bottle, 6/7-2008

12oz bottle: Apperance is golden brown with quick fading white head, aroma has hints of malt and spices but very weak, flavor like caronated malty water. Very little flavor to this beer but no off flavors to speak of.

Bottle. Pours a clear pale yellow with a fluffy white head. There is a very faint sweet aroma. The taste is almost not there at all, but isnt necessarily a bad taste. Overall a very thin beer that is very easy to drink/

Brewed in Kenya..........Pours a nice golden color with a super fizzy white head. Aroma of corn and grass. Taste of corn, malts and flowers. The mouthfeel is kind of spritzy at first, then becomes very watery at the finish.Overall, i would say it’s pretty boring.
