From bottle at restaurant Addis Abeba, together with Huub. Just an normal lager. Not much hop, bright color. Nice to have with the Ethiopian food.

Ok as far as Ethiopian beers go. Had a few of these as I kept thinking they’d bring the regular one and I’d get another tick. Some mash malt. Crispish finish. Medium to lower tier among Ethiopian lagers.

They had this one at Tana Ethiopian restaurant in Pittsburgh. +++ Sampled from an 11.2 oz brown bottle this beer poured a very dark golden-amber color with a medium sized foamy white head that left a bit of lacing. The aroma was sweetish with moderate tropical fruits - papaya, mango and pineapple. The flavor was bread and honey with tart and tangy mixed tropical fruits. The finish was long and tangy with lingering honey, tropical fruits and bread. Fairly full bodied. Odd but interesting.

Bottle. Pours hazy orange tinged gold with a bubbly white head. Aromas of citrus and grain. Near medium body with very mild carbonation. Flavor is mildly citric, and the body went watery as the carbonation left. Finishes with a nice bit of noble hop. Decent.

Bottle at a tourist restaurant in Addis. Cloudy yellow with a rapidly disappearing white head. Aroma of bread of candy. Sweet taste with a slight bitter edge. Interesting but not great.
