The name TUSKER™ came about as a memoriam following the death of George Hurst a co-founder of Kenya Breweries Ltd who was killed by an elephant during a hunting expedition in 1922. The brand has since grown to be EABL's flagship brand.

TUSKER is brewed from 100% African ingredients that are all locally sourced; the barley is from the Savannah and the Maasai Mara, the spring water is from the Aberdare Mountains and all the yeast is developed locally which means that you feel closely connected to the brand's origins and roots.

Old rating from 2010 - 500ml bottle brought at ASDA on a UK road trip, exciting because I'd had this many time when travelling in Kenya in the 90's. Poured at home in Jersey, it's clear amber with a small white head. Aromas & tastes of flora, grain, corn, grass & malt. Moderate body. Moderate bitter finish. Very enjoyable in the heat of East Africa, but as ever less so at home.

light golden pour, small head, doesnt last very long. Nose is very grainy, with big notes of corn, grass. flavour is much of the same, quite grainy, with a hint of malt. Not much hops, but its refreshing, and quite smooth. A good lawnmower beer.

Аромат к слову весьма неплохой, даже ощущается хмель весьма сильно, хотя много солода тоже есть. Цвет золотистый, пенка на удивление весьма пышная, хоть и падает быстро. Вкус уже послабже, в основном солод, сначала более плоский и слегка сладкий. Послевкусие более хмелевое, ну горчинка по крайней мере есть, хотя ароматы ржавой воды тоже есть. ну в целом просто чуть хуже среднего лагера.

Bottle from beers of Europe Pours clear gold, small white head, decent retention. Aroma is sweet pale malts, corn, light flora and spice from the hops. Taste is stewed veg water, light grassy bitterness and a nice spicy tingle in the finish. A bit full for a standard lager so not as refreshing as some. Mixed but certainly drinkable.
