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.

Oh My God. This is essence of what I don’t want to see in beer as of taste. Hakuna matata? No way!

Bottle. A- Grains, corn, A- Gold color, clear liquid, white head. T- Grains, corn, slightly sweet, slightly creamy. P- Light body, average texture, average carbonation, light finish. O- I’m just excited to have had an African beer now. Pretty standard pale lager. A touch sweet and shockingly not skunky or off tasting at all. That said, I don’t want any more but it was much better than anticipated.

Bottle picked up in Euston. Pours yellow gold with a thin white head. Aroma is really malty with hints of grain and peach. Taste is a malt hit with a little grass and straw on the end. Carbonation is OK. Standard Pale lager.

At a tasting, very little bubbly head, clear quite deep yellow color, aroma of yeast and cardboard with some nuttiness, malty fruit flavor, very light bitterness, light sourness. Drinkable but not really good.
