330ml bottle (6.4%), shared with blackhaddock at our rare country / region mega tasting afternoon. Clear gold pour with good white head. Quite strong, and certainly tastes a bit sweet and boozy with a poky alcohol bite, mouthfeel a touch oily. Overall too sweet and strong tasting.

26th April 2022. Mega tasting with minutemat, pushing our countries, regions and brewery stats higher. 33cl green bottle; BB 4th September 2022. Our second Rwandan beer of the session and third rating from the country (we join the top 50 rates of Rwandan beers!). Although a little sweet this golden beer was OK with it's grainy/malty feel countered by a little hop bitterness.

Sample courtesy of Grumbo, cheers Graham! Clear golden colour, white foam head and aroma of malt, grains. Taste is sweetish, malty, grains, sugary, papery, with some grassy bitterness. Light bodied, high foamy carbonation, drying grassy bitter finish. Kind of OK
