This is our example of a classical Vienna style lager, rarely seen in the world today. Brewed using three different malts, this beer displays a distinct caramel malt character and was traditionally brewed in Austria before brewers in Czechoslovakia invented the gold coloured Czech Pilsen. This is a medium bodied lager with a low hop bitterness and a mild caramel like sweetness.

Draught @ the brasserie. Clear light amber with small creamy light beige head, faint malt aroma, medium carbonation, sweetish caramel malt taste, thin body, abrupt finish. Kind of clean, but nothing remarkable about it.

Out of date can thanks to Toby. Clear amber colour lasting off white head. Stale oxidised aroma, some fruit on the malts in the mouth it’s not horrible apart from the oxidised aroma. Still, it’s not a great beer.

Bottle: Poured a clear light amber color ale with a small foamy head with limited retention. Aroma of light caramel malt with light roasted notes. Taste is also a mix between some light caramel malt with a very bland finish. Body is extremely thin with medium carbonation. It’s funny but I think I prefer sticking to the adjunct lager then drinking this while I was in Kenya.

Bottled. An amber beer with a thin beige head. The aroma has notes of malt, metal, and odd fruits. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt and metal, leading to a dry finish.

12oz bottle pours a transparent, honey amber with a thin, lacing white head. Nose is very yeasty, very bready, crackers, malts, a little bit of apple. Very malty flavor, bready, grainy, like a wet slice of multi-grain bread, a little apple, some brown sugar. Tastes a bit like an Octoberfest in terms of the grain bill. Medium bodied, dry finish. Very malt forward, but it’s not a pilsener or pale lager, so it’s a nice change of pace in Nairobi.
