500ml bottle from an offie in London’s Seven Sisters neighbourhood. Pours clear amber with a small beige head. Aroma is caramel, toasted malt, dark fruits. Taste is light sweet, caramel malt, burnt toast, light bitter finish. One of the best African beers I’ve tried so far.

50 cl bottle at the Africa Museum restaurant, Tervuren (BE). Amber pour with some copperish shades. Short-lived, tan head. Aroma is rather low: some iron and a touch of camomile. Light, medium-bodied, simple and easy to drink. Slight metal, subtle acidity. Almost no bitterness in the abrupt finish. Bah.

650ml bottle @ monthly tasting, Chez Sophie, May '19. Many thanks Jeremy for letting me colour in a big fat section of Africa with this expensive DR Congo tick! Clear amber appearance, frothy off-white head. Aroma has respectable caramel malt aroma, taste presents a surprising caramel sweetness, nicely balanced.. did not expect a vienna lager to be brewed in this neck of the woods. Really not bad at all.

65cl bottle: BB 29th Dec 19. Shared by me with four others at the May gathering of the Shrewsbury Beer Share group in Chez Sophie. I found this beer in an Off-Licence in Tottenham somewhere. An off-white blanket of foam sat proudly on a clear amber body, it looked fine. Although it was malty in nature it was also fairly dry, especially the aftertaste. Surprised and pleased it wasn't your typical African pale lager with a corn sweetness. My 140th country rate, slowly moving around the world!
