Enormous thanks to luttonm for bringing this to us from South Sudan... you rock Matt! This poured a light golden body with a small white head. Light grainy nose, not much more (and the notes are illegible): The taste is grainy again, light, with some vague hop, slightly tangy, actually far more drinkable than it should be despite a complete absence of a finish. Ok overall, which is far better than I thought it would be.

0.5 l bottle huge thanks to luttonm for giving it away! It poured pale yellow body with medium sized head. Moderately malty, hay, somewhat corny and lemony aroma. Flavor was lightly sweet, rice and corn seemed evident, grainy as well with lot of hay. Thinner in body with shorter finish. Loads of corn again. Drinkable and in all of its wateriness, actually, not so bad for a country where alcohol was banned for the last 40 years. +1 for the cause.

Bottle at Pat’s chriso birthday tasting. Pours crystal clear, pale yellow with a foamy, white head. Grain and cereal in the nose. Light sweet flavor, some dough, cereal and biscuits. Light bodied with fine to average carbonation. Sweet, basic finish, plenty of cereal. Boy, those South Sudanese are lucky!

Bottled around 2010. 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.
