The 'national' standard pale lager of the São Tomé and Principe island country off the West-African coast, produced by a local brewery apparently owned by an Angolan businessman since the nineties. Thanks to tderoeck for the sample! Apparently showing a moussey and thick snow white head when young (but no head on my sample), pale golden blonde robe with vague greenish tinge. Aroma of ripe pear, cereals, pineapple, faint hints of cheese and sweat. Neutral onset, sweetish thin cerealliness with an apple-like sweetishness to it (likely the result of oxidation), softly carbonated (most of the carbon dioxide has escaped by now at least in the sample I got); grainy finish with a waferthin grassy touch perhaps but hardly any discernible hop bitterness. Typically sweetish, grainy, overly simple and smooth, thin African pale lager - but one interesting country tick!

Sampled at Tim's place, huge thanks! Clear golden color, no head. Aroma and flavor are bland. Very watery. Only get a little dusty malty bitterness, nothing else. Drinkable but barely.

Süßlicher, hell getreidiger Beginn. Minimale Herbe, wässriger Körper, wenig helles Malz. Belanglos, gerade noch trinkbar. 8/5/4/4//4

Many thanks for this beer with marked caps to mr Marek. zlociste, klarowne niemal slomkowe, jaskrawe, lekko wodniste, o malym ciele, takie nieco makaronowe w smaku. Nic specjalnego. Ale najwazniejsze ze swieze.
