Flaske delt med RBHD-guttene juni-13: mørk til en pale lager å være, brukbart skum. Aroma av maisgrøt, og maissmaken gjør seg til kjenne med en gang. Lite munnfylde og heldigvis kort ettersmak, som er dominert av daggammelt gressavklipp.

Bottle @ Jacobs, courtesy of Marie, thanks! Pours yellow with a small white head. Aroma of grain, corn, light grassy. Flavor is rather sweet with corn, some grain, little grassy hops. Thin to medium body, average carbonation. Sweet, but actually drinkable. 020613

Dieses Bier hat mir 2013 mein Kollege Harald mitgebracht, der dort ein paar Wochen unterwegs war. Es ist mit Quellwasser des Weissen Nils gebraut, der in der Gegend der Brauerei entspringt. Es ist ähnlich dem Tusker recht leicht, aber doch angenehm hopfig-frisch. Sicher keine Aromenbombe, aber durchaus trinkbar.

Bottle: Poured a clear golden color lager with a small bubbly white head with minimal retention and not much lacing. Aroma of adjunct and slightly oversweet corn notes. Taste is also dominated by corn notes with too much sweetness. Body is somewhat fuller then most pale lager with an oily texture. Bland with too much adjunct for my own taste.

Bottle thanks to Nimbleprop. Shared at a tasting at my house. Pours clear gold with white head. Nose and taste of corn, light pepper, malt and light lemon. Lighter bodied. Not bad for the style.
