Another beer I brought back from my Kenyan adventure in August 2007. This brown, half litre bottle has a golden label with a picture of a white capped mountain, most likely Mount Kenya, but I am no expert on mountain spotting. Brewed 20 June 2007, must be drank before 20 Dec 2007, it was drunk on 03 Sept 2007. I poured the beer into my one remaining Corsendonk tulip glass, leaving a third of the beer to replenish the glass later. The body of the beer is a very pale, yellow straw colour, clear and clean looking. A white cap of foam sat on top, the head soon left to be replaced by a thin covering of wispy, twirly small bubbles. As with almost every lager beer I try, the aroma escapes me, so this one gets my normal 3.0 for smell. There was a very small hint of yeast, but not enough to get excited about. This could have been any of the sweeter lagers you have tried anywhere in the world. Nothing wrong with it, but nothing stood out either, just a bog standard Euro style lager. No real body or flavours to give it a hefty mouthfeel, a bit water maybe, but it wasn’t weak, nor did it have that tinny taste some lagers leave in the mouth. All in all, not a bad drink. I didn’t get to try one while out in Kenya, I just got it at a supermarket, so I could review it on my return to the UK.
