Bottled. A black beer with a lazing brown head. The aroma has notes of roasted malt as well as lighter notes of soy sauce and chocolate. The flavor is sweet with notes of roasted malt, soy sauce, and wood, leading to a dry roasted finish. The body is light. Thanks fiulijn for sharing.

Bottle from friend Maria
Black color, with medium sized beige head. Mild aroma of roasted malt and caramel, a bit nutty. Roasted malt flavor, not aggressive, some molasses, mild acidity.
I have never been to Ghana, but I guess this is the best beer available there.

Bottle at Ghana Cafe in DC. This one is a step above most developing world lagers, with clean, crisp lines and no off flavors. Not bad.

Ghana Cafe, DC 625ml ($10): Pours a super pale color with a diminishing white head. Aroma is mostly just grainy with a hint of sugar. Easy to drink. Taste has mostly the grains. Not too much sweetness. I don’t know if there are any hops, maybe one or two. Not offensive in the least bit. Better than Tusker...

Pale blond color, hazy; medium sized head. Light malt aroma, decent for an African beer. The mouthfeel is quite light; there is almost no flavor; the bitterness is on the low side. Very simple, just an alternative to water.

Pours a clear yellow-gold color with a medium thin and fizzy white head that burns away quickly. Spotty lacing on the glass. Aroma of grainy malt and fruit. Light body with a doughy malt character and notes of mild hops and a touch of citrus. The finish is short and grainy. Forgettable, typical Pale Lager.
