0,5l at the Airport in Dar es Salaam. BB 14.01.2020. MF 15.01.2019. Brewed and bottled by Serengeti Breweries in Dar. Black color, small coffee coloured head. Smells earthy, spices, heavy cardboard, yoghurt, grains. Not good smell. Full body, soft carbonation, slick mouthfeel. Tastes earthy, spices, very very peppery, some cardboard, grains, yoghurt, light corn notes. Finishes rather bitter with notes of grains, cardboard and peppery notes. Terrible balance, lots of off notes and way too bitter..

Tasting at Oakes' Manor
Dark brown colour. Had it side-to-side with the Kenya version, this one is more bready, and less grain/caramel character; moderate flavour of roasted malt, it seems drier.

500mL bottle, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma is quite sour, with toasted malt, with some varnish, and light balsamic. Flavour is along the same lines, with toasted malt, light perfume, some varnsh, and balsamic. A bit tart, but it works pretty well for whatever it is. Not bad.

Tanzanian: Dark brown. Medium head. Has a nice molasses nose, some mellow roast, and a touch of the classic FES fruitiness. I think I prefer Tanzanian of the East African variants I’ve had.

Bottle. Light bodied lager. A little bit grassy and grainy but generally cleaner and drier than the easy-to-find Big four of Tanzanian swills.

Bright yellow colour. Aroma of high gravity brewing, like sticky malts and too malt alcohol. Sticky and with a bit of alcohol, and that alcohol stays with your palate through the finish. So sticky, sourish, and not all that much i

Tanzania’s national standard lager – every traditionally non-beery country has one – sampled at Belgium Chimipalooza, from a can. Loose and opening, snow white head, cristal clear pale straw blonde colour. Simple and pretty standard nose of soggy chicken food and popcorn, plastic, minerals, hint of grass. Sweet grainy onset, soggy breakfast cereals in a very thin and superficial way, sourish edge, medium carb, thin, minerally and a tad metallic. Plastic-like effect in the finish, hardly any hop bitterness. Poor as expected, but seen the geographical context, I guess this functions fine as a thirst-quencher for tourists visiting this country for a safari adventure… I had worse African lagers than this one, but still I'd prefer Kenya's Tusker over this.

Bottle at the hotel in Dar es Salaam. No head no matter how much I tried. Aroma is malty, but far from full. Taste is dry, very dry. Not helpful in this hot and humid weather. But still, it could have been worse.

Pours a clear golden color, topped with a relatively small and not really lasting white head (just a small cover left). Mild grainy aroma, some wet paper gentle notes. Taste very sweet upfront, a bit apple like actually. Just a hint of bittery feel in the finish. Not too unpleasant, very light but way too sweet.
