2.1 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 7/20 RAYBOY01 (2003) - Chicago, Illinois, USA - JAN 21, 2005
African continent but one taste tells you the brewmeister is German. Pretty decent (unremarkable) light lager. I’m guessing the brewer is an ex-Nazi deserter from Rommel’s African Corps, but then again, I see a limo with tinted widows and I’m pretty sure either Oprah or Prince is in it...
1.5 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 1/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 7/20 GG (1980) - NorCal, California, USA - JUL 12, 2009
A bottle I picked up at a Big Lots store here locally. For about 50 cents a bottle, I wasn’t expecting much and I didn’t get much. Huge skuned aroma that dominates anything else trying to get noticed. Flavor was some wet corn and a touch of grass. Looked like dirty dishwater that had been filtered. Odd beer. Forgetful.

Good golden color,small decent lasting white head,Slight skunky aroma,malty with a decent amount of hops.The taste is lightly malty an almost lemon taste at the beginning changing to a mildly bitter hops.The after taste is mildly hoppy with little else to offer.It isn't to bad,it does have a fairly decent drinkable quality to it with a thirst quenching attitude.but for flavor it's a little weak.
2.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20 frankenkitty (1953) - Oak Lawn, Illinois, USA - OCT 18, 2005
Typical light-golden with fast effervescence and a tiny white head. Aroma was light, powdery spice & grassy hops leading to a flavor that was non-descript. Light bodied and sort of crisp. Meh... all it’s really good for is a country "tick".

Bright light golden, graying head, thin lacing. Very sweet, adjuncts/corn, vegetables, and rather grassy. The only decent thing about getting ripped off at a restaurant at Disney’s Animal Kingdom was the opportunity to try two crappy African lagers.

pours golden yellow, very small white head, aroma of grainy water and corn, flavor is off, the body is frail, nothing appealing with this one.

2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20 Vaiz (1847) - Den Haag, NETHERLANDS - NOV 4, 2011
Bottle at home. Clear golden pour, thick white head. Aroma is grainy and slightly hopped. Flavor is watery and bitter. Quite clean lager. Still boring.
