Bottle at DC Epic Sour Tasting 2014, courtesy of the Rwanda Mission, thank you ladies! Gorgeous bright ruby amber color, white head. Extra points also for a terrific looking bottle that has clearly not been recycled thousands of times, chipped, broken, and left in the sun for weeks and months like some beer bottles in Africa. But things go downhill from here. The aroma is medicinal, the kind your mom forced you to take as a kid that was sometimes worse than the disease. The taste is similar, and indescribable. A huge disappointment. I guess an ounce of appearance is worth a pound of performance.

Pours kind of brown, tastes rusty and wack. Some burnt something in here, not sure what. Weird finish. Bottle thanks to Travlr at Epic Sour Tasting.

From a bottle shared at the DC Epic Sour Beer Tasting. Thanks nmann08! Pours a clear cola brown with a tan head. Flavors of caramel with a sweet malt finish. Not your typical African pale lager.

12oz bottle, thanks to travlr. Poured a nice ruby color with a wispy off-white head. Aroma is light malt, earthy notes. Flavor is light malts, thats it. Actually not awful.
