Bottled, made in Juba, southern Sudan, many thanks to Bierkrug for this new country! Pale golden, brief head. Maize aroma. Sweet and fruity, light bodied and not very firm. Some alcohol manages to seep through the adjunct ladden flavour. Low bitterness. Pretty much what you can expect from an SABMiller product in one of the poorest corners of the world.

Bottled. Clear yellow color, short white head. Aroma of grassy hop. Same taste. Just another pale lager from a tropical country.

Bottled. (5.6%ABV) Pale golden with a white head. Maize aroma and a weak hay-like flavor. Thin body. Not bad, just boring. (060518)

(Bottle 50 cl) Pours pale golden with a creamy, white head leaving some laces. Sweetish aroma of corn or rice. Medium-bodied, sweet flavours of brewing cereal - chicken fodder. No real bitterness. Thanks to Karsten for bringing me this. 180505

A yellow beer with a fine white head. The aroma is sour as if brewing cereal has been used. The flavor is malty with notes of metal and hops, before a dry end sets in. Should be drunk on a hot day in Uganda, not on a dark chilly Copenhagen fall night.
