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.

Beers of the World country 40: Kenya 🇰🇪
"The beer is as most lagers golden in colour. It has a small white fluffy head that stays for a little time. It tastes malty but lacking some of the bitterness. It also has a floral taste to it but everything ends kind of quickly. All in all an ok African lager." - beersoftheworldproject.wordpress.com

500ml bottle from Beers of Europe. Clear golden yellow colour with a small white head, good retention. Aroma: malt, bready, hint of grass. Taste: light bready malt, slight sweetness, some hops but almost no bitterness. Slick mouthfeel but a bit on the thin side, light-medium body, moderate carbonation. Nothing special but certainly one of the better lagers from Africa.

500ml bottle from Beers of Europe. Pours pale yellow with a medium rocky white head that bubbles down to a small lasting head. Aroma is sweet grain, cereal, dusty hops. Taste is sugar sweet and watery. Finish is tangy rather than bitter. Really bland lager that reminds me of some of the cheapest Russian lagers. At least it’s a new country tick.

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.

Jan. ’16. A 0.5 l bottle from Prosi Exotic supermarket. It poured a yellow body with small head. Stinky corn and grainy aroma. No corn listed? Flavor was lightly sweet, hay, lots of it. A bit of cucumbers, too. Thin to medium bodied with moderately long sweetish grainy/eggy finish. Not extremely bad, just an average pale lager with weird notes. Well...

Bottle @ Peculier Pub. Clear pale yellow with very small frothy white head, faint malt aroma, medium carbonation, little malt taste, almost no hops, watery body, abrupt finish. This could only be a substitute for water under the fierce African sun!
