Bottle shared at the Ekstraliga beer share with Grumbo and ITFCDan. Aroma of straw, hay, citrus and hops. Watery citrus finish. Not a bad one

Kind of sweet, kind of bitter but the flavor is all very muddled. Thanks Matt H for this one.

One of these African brands made the same way in distinct countries, in this case Congo-Brazzaville, not to be confused with Congo-Kinshasa; thanks tderoeck for sharing! Snow white, very loose and thin, quickly dissolving head, clear pure yellow golden robe. Aroma of dry cereals, cold fried rice, sugar corn, banana leaf, rubber, old cornbread. Grainy-sweetish but otherwise neutral onset, softish carb (lots of it having escaped by now), straightforward sweetish cerealliness, very thin, hinting a bit at cooked rice and flour but ending relatively dry (for a macro lager), with even a vague touch of grainy spiciness, but no hops whatsoever. Actually not even the worst African standard lager I had to date, I guess this can be, to a certain extent and with no further beery expectations, even refreshing on a hot day in Brazzaville, when fresh and ice cold.

Sample shared with haddock. Pours gold, white head. Has a slight sharpness to it that could be interpreted as sour, sorghum maybe.. otherwise clean and palatable.

Mega tasting session with Minutemat at my place on 6th November 2023. Panda from Grumbo. Golden pour, wispy head. Slightly sour feel to this Lager, didn't enjoy this too much.

21/10/2023. Bottle shared at EBGP. From Marek. Congo rating #5. Pours clear pale golden with a short lasting frothy white head. Aroma is sweet, malty, corn, grain, fruity edge. Quite sweet, light bitterness. Moderate body, quite smooth, light carbonation. Not too bad.

6/VII/23 - sample from a trade, shared @ home, BB: n/a (2023-433) Thanks to Grzegorz for the trade!
Clear orange beer, small creamy irregular white head, unstable, non adhesive. Aroma: sweet impression, corn flakes, cardboard, oxidized, some orange peel. MF: ok carbon, medium to light body. Taste: lots of corn, pretty sweet, cardboard, very oxidized, bleh, slightly sourish. Aftertaste: sweet, gains, hay, cow fodder, cardboard, oh well, another country tick if anything! Very happy! :-)
