Scopey’s grand vertical. Thanks to WIngman for this African rarity. Almost clear paleish gold beer, tidy white head. Light crispy palate, mildly dry. Light papery malts. Mild floralness. A whisper of lemony hop saves this from really bombing. Dry finish.

Bottle shared at Scopey place birthday tasting. Many thanks to Wingman Dave for this one is . Very pale yellow coloured pour with a thin white head. Aroma is weedy, grassy, skunk, pale oxidised paper grains. Flavour is composed of light grains, semi sweet, apple, grassy. Palate is light, moderate carbonation Not as bad as the aroma.

Bottle a little bit out of date.... big thanks to Willis. It pours clear pale yellow with a small, bubbly white head. The aroma is sweet and papery, grass, weed and straw. The taste is sweet, paper, white sugar, straw, cheap white bread and soda water with short finish. Light body and fine, foamy carbonation. Basic papery lager. Not great....

Bottle shared in London - huge thanks to WW. Pours clear yellow with a frothy, white head. The nose holds dry grains, veggies, paper, cereal. Light sweet flavor with simple white bread, crispy cereal, hay. Light bodied with average carbonation. Fairly clean on the finish, with more pale bread, white bread, light bitter hay, faint lemon peel. Really, not that bad.

Bottle [from Euro Swap 2015-2 thanks to Tomer] @ weekly tasting shared with Dutchdrebus. Opaque very dark brown to black color, full sized light brown head that diminishes fairly quickly. Aroma is weird: malts, a hint of figs, hint of red fruit and leaves. Taste malts, dark fruits, raisins, leaves. Weird mix and unfortunately not very nice imo. Nice country tick though :).

As Star Premium Quality Finest Lager Beer. ’Local’ beer at an African restaurant, from an expensive 50 cl bottle; the owner claimed it to be Nigerian, but the label unambiguously read Guinness Ghana. Medium sized, fairly lacing, light yellowish white head, bright golden blonde colour with somewhat ochre hue and good fizz. Very neutral aroma of green malts, corn, mineral water and the unmistakable skunky odour of a lightstruck effect. Grainy and corny taste but very restrained, watery and neutral, bit ’sweaty’, somewhat minerally, lightly sourish and grain sweet with a very bland and boring, bit watery body, also as a result of the total absence of hop bitterness. Not truly off-putting but terribly simple and good for a country tick, I suppose.

Bottle @ benzai. Black colour with a large light brown head. Smells coffee, fruity, sweet, kinda icecream like but i cant say which kind of icecream. Tastes cardboard, coffee, roasty. I like cardboard so it’s not a huge problem for me, but this beer has more cardboard then anything I ever tasted. I guess this beer has seen some shit in it’s days. And probably even more sunlight than shit, if I must believe the cardboard. Anyway, I’m glad the beer found some peace now. Medium body, nice carbo.

625ml bottle [Thank you very much, Aziz, for taking this extra tour from Burkina!]. Clear, golden colour with average to huge, frothy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Grainy and strawy aroma. Taste is grainy, strawy, hints of corn, flat bitterness. As expected.

33o ml bottle, found in an African shop in Berlin Rating from somewhere before 2007.
Das Bier ist golden im Glas. Geruch neutral-wässrig. Geschmacklich ohne höhen und Tiefen - neutral mild, leicht süßlich, leicht getreidig. Zum Nachgeschmack kommt eine leichte bittere Note hinzu. Sehr süffig.
Wie erwartet - nicht schlecht, aber auch nichts extrem Spannendes.
