11th May 2019. Sample from minutemat, who in turn received it from Grumbo, cheers too both of you; my first Burkina Faso rate. Hazy amber body, weak wispy scum on top. Mild citrus leanings in both the aroma and taste, decent semi-sweet malty base also. better than I expected to be honest.

Sample from bottle, thanks Grumbo for this country tick! Pours a mucky deep amber, thin off white ring. Aroma is lightly sweet malt, floral. Taste isnt too bad, a gentle floral citrus sweetness carries through with a bitter close. Interesting.

Bottle sample courtesy of Grumbo, many thanks Graham! Hazy amber orange-brown colour, off-white foamy head leaving a little lacing and aroma of citrus hops, grains, dough. Taste is sweet, floral citrus fruity, hoppy, grainy, sorghum, yeasty with some spicy bitterness. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, sweet light bitter finish. Quite drinkable.

21/4/2019. Bottle courtesy of Boris (and Aziz) than you so much. Pours initially clear pale gold with a small white head with a little sediment towards the end. Aroma of flowers, yeast, citrus and light herb, with a little peppery spice. Medium sweetness, light bitterness. Moderate body, slight oily texture, average carbonation. Well above your average African beer.

330ml bottle [Thanks to Aziz for this rarity!]. Hazy, orangey golden colour with average, frothy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Rather intense, floral yeasty and grainy, spicy aroma with hints of leather, shoe polish, peat, cilantro, celery, cautious, unspecific fruitiness (close too woody, grilled pineapple); reminds of some smoked beers made from whisky malt. The impression is confirmed by the taste - hints of peat, leather, spicy grainy basis, floral yeasty overtones, dry, minimally bitter hoppy counterweight, a spicy touch of celery and lovage; minimally watery passages. Quite complex, almost smoky spiciness - very interesting.
