500ml bottle [courtesy of Grumbo - thanks a lot for the African reciprocity!]. Opalescant, yellow-ish, golden colour with average, thick, frothy, moderately lasting, minimally lacing, snow white head. Very weak, somehow husky, minimally biscuity, pale malty aroma, a touch of cracker. Taste is slightly biscuity, pale malty, subtle sweetness, mild, bitter hoppy counterpart. Minimally creamy, watery texture, smooth and soft palate, fine, soft, mildly prickly carbonation. Very clean, fairly refreshing, sadly extremely weak nose - not bad.

Sample courtesy of Grumbo. Thanks chap. Golden yellow appearance with a surprisingly lively, large white head that takes a while to subside. Pleasantly sweet, floral, no off-notes, medium carbonation, nice strength to it. OK.

So Fresh, in UG is always hot and the Nile special is only for special people who can drink a full crate delivered by a kinda and funny boda boda. Fresh like the source of the Nile. In a country where to have fun is an art, she will give u company all the time and warm ur head softly till she refreh ur body again and again, she will put u in the best conditions for go to the bars with friends and continue to a disco later for dance with beautiful girls and laught with so nice people and friends. UG and that beer are a gift from God only for special people. She doesnt have the magic when u drink it out of Uganda. Ugandans have nothing excepting their good heart, their smile, that beer from even and pocho; they are the best people on earth and Uganda must be ur next destination, if u miss it, u will have miss ur life bros.

Flaska 500 ml. Klar guldfärgad med ett vitt skum. Dofter och smaker av säd, malt och gräs. Lyckas balansera säden och malten på ett fint sätt. En högst ordinär lager, men med det sagt alls inte dålig.

Dieses Bier hat mir 2013 mein Kollege Harald mitgebracht, der dort ein paar Wochen unterwegs war. Es ist mit Quellwasser des Weissen Nils gebraut, der in der Gegend der Brauerei entspringt. Es ist ähnlich dem Tusker recht leicht, aber doch angenehm hopfig-frisch. Sicher keine Aromenbombe, aber durchaus trinkbar.

Taster, courtesy of SinH4. Pours almost clear golden. Aroma is honey, flowers, bread, but all quite farfetched. Body is completely flat, thin and watery, low sweetness, again hints of honey and flowers. Not much there, though. Inoffensive, a plus.

22/IX/17 - bottle @ Borefts Bierfestival 2017 (Bodegraven) - BB: n/a (2017-1631) Thanks to ratebeerians and friends for sharing today's beers, and Benzai in particular for this one!

Second Uganda rating :p
Clear pale orange beer, practically no head. Aroma: very malty, grains, pretty dirty, bah, don't like. MF: soft carbon, medium to light body. Taste: very metallic, some grains, not much else. Well, what to expect of an African macro lager. Or just macro lager in general. ;-)

Clear yellow. Aroma is tobacco leaves, honey, green leek, some ash, some honey. Taste is watery honey with more ash and quite much sweetness. Not too bad apart from stale and boring.

Bottle sample, many thanks Erzengel! Clear golden color with small white head. Aroma is fresh wort, rice, corn. Taste is corn, sweet, unattenuated, but still somehow clean. Typical country tick, but at least neither expired not lightstruck.
