50cl can from Nakumatt supermarket, Kigali / Rwanda 🇷🇼. Smooth grainy beginning. Easy to drink with grainy hints, malty body with a smooth and malty grainy aftertaste. Not much bitterness, round and easy to drink with not much aftertaste.

Bottle. Gold with an inch of white head. Grain, some honey, paper and hints of spices. Sweet and a bit biscuit flabby without much bitterness. Seems a bit tired. Poor.

(Bottle) Clear straw with transient white head. Aroma is cardboard with hints of grass and toffee. Light body and lively fizzy in a coarse but exciting way. Taste is better than aroma suggests. There’s some pleasant toffee / candy sweetness under a nice fresh tangy flavour. It’s a little odd but quite well balanced. By the mid palate there some biscuity malt and some fairly pleasant hints of crisp bitterness in finish. I expect this would go down well in a hot dry climate. It’s not great but it’s drinkable.

Golden colored, weak white head. Aroma of malts and grain, some grassy hops. Taste moderate sweet malts, grains, straw and hay. Low on bitterness. No adjuncts though. Light bodied. Not good but much better than the "normal" Tusker.

Bottle sample at a tasting at Stas’s place. Thanks Alexey. As Tusker Malt Lager. Clear yellow with almost no head. Aroma of paper, graininess and a hay hint. Sweetish flavor, papery and grainy with a slightly bitter finish. Light-bodied.

Bottle from Andover Liquors Pour a crystal clear golden straw color with a decent sized tightly bubbled white head that dissipates quickly to a faint cap on top. Aromas of sweet grainy honey like pilsner malt and a faint floral hop. I’m a bit surprised that the aroma is so damn inviting. The flavor is lightly sweet and honey like with some faint earthy spicy hop to balance. Medium body with a moderate level of carbonation and slick sugary water mouthfeel. Very nice example of a pale lager, I could see some of these on a warm summer day.

Clear golden colour, white head. Aroma of malts, grains, quite sweet, barn, hay. Sweet malty flavour, hint of bitterness. Watery body, finish grains, malts. Decent. Feels rather like a somewhat classic German lager, but it‘s not quite my cup of tea.
(from 33cL bottle @ Tim‘s place. Thanks for sharing, and I’m always grateful for your and Marina’s hospitality!)

Clear pale yellow beer, irregular white small head, unstable, non adhesive. Aroma: lots of grains, hay, cow fodder, pretty sweet, malty. MF: ok carbon, light body. Taste: grains, little bit of sweet malts, bitter, herbal touch. Aftertaste: grains, little bitter. Not the worse Africa beer I've had.

March 2008: from BA. Green 300ml bottle, brought back from Kenya last year so I could review it at my leasure. Still well within its best before date, I poured into a Corsendonk stemmed tulip shaped glass. Looks like a Dort, a deep darker, old gold colour. Not the bright, light normal lager hue. The white head does stay, but there isn’t a huge top to start with. Malt aroma, barley and some hops too. Fairly sweet caramel esters also. Even in the cold English winter this African beer has something worth having. Drinking it reminded me of the Safari and all the excitment there of, wonderful. Malty and clean tasting, plenty of flavour from the yeast and hops. The sweetness of the caramel smell doesn’t come into taste, but a little sweetnes is within the flavours. This is a good beer, obviously it tastes better in the warmth with the sun on your back, but its mouthfeel is just right. The malt flavour stays throughout and no metalic twang arrives like some malt lagers.
