Heavy 72cl bottle. No date. Found in a Congolese shop in Brussels.
Pale golden in the glass, nearly no aroma in the nose. The beer starts VERY watery, hints of malt, hints of grain. Hints of maize. It is smooth, maize-sweetish, nearly no bitterness. Dry and still sweetish. The aftertaste is watery, sweetish-grainy and very slightly bitter.
Very refreshing and very watery beer. Nice and easy to drink! --> 8/12/7/8

Bottle - Pale fizzy water with flavors of apple, corn and formaldehyde. But in the constant heat and humidity of the DRC, hits the spot. Drink warm at your own risk.

Bottle, massive thanks to me. It pours pale yellow with a medium white head. The nose is dough, grain, hint of grass and some corn/butter notes. The taste is grass, corn, crisp, dull sweetness and lemon pith with a dry, lightly bitter finish. Light-medium body and moderate carbonation. Ok pale lager, which I’m sure is damn refreshing in the West-African Jungle. But it ain’t no Turbo King.

THE stout tasting Pt1. Cheers to Paul for this country tick. Clear pale gold beer, fluffy white head. Light dry palate. Mild fine carbonation. Mild floral note. Papery and dry pale malt. Forensic trace of hop. Pretty dry finish. Not great but nowhere near as bad as I was expecting. Had many pale lagers worse than this!

Bottle as palate cleanser during The Stout Tasting, London - big thanks to Paul for sourcing this rare country tick. Pours clear, pale gold with a fine, white cream head. Lots of doughy, pale malts on the nose, some herbs. light to medium sweet flavor, more dough, faint hay. Light to medium in body with average, creamy carbonation. Light sweetness to finish, some white bread, cereal, white sugar. Solid. I wish I had worked out before drinking this - it’s that kind of beer.

Bottle, 72cl. A clear, pale golden beer topped by a small, white head. Weak nose with fruityness and some pale malts. The flavor has some bitterness, along with fruityness and pale malts. Thin on the palate, soft carbonation. Some bitterness in the very end, but it’s mostly fruity. Some quenching qualities in this one, but mostly it’s just super boring. 120817
