 Med brown.  Thin head.  Big honey aroma w crackery accents... Cause obama and crackers go well together...sweet, molassesy, fruity, complex.  Bears similarities to milk stout in a lager-like clean finish.

Dull amber colour. Slightly caramelly nose with crackery notes. Similar taste, with a good bit of carbonation to keep the sweet caramel in check. Still, a bland macro amber lager.

What do tickers do while on temporary assignment in Africa? They tick African lagers of course. 33cl bottle pours a clear, piss yellow with some sudsy white head that faded fast. The aroma coming from my bottle was all grassy, a little minty, corn, stale white bread. Flavor was a little gross, minty toothpaste, corn juice, slightly metallic. Watery, minty finish.

330ml bottle. Clear golden colour with average, firm, frothy, white head. Strawy aroma with a touch of corn. Taste is unpleasantly metallic, strawy, burnt, bitter, soapy; bitter, soapy finish. One of the worriest beers ever concerning taste.

Another beer for old times’ sake. Pale piss yellow pour with thin white head. Maize-y aroma, weak flavour. Absitively, posolutely no finish, none, niks. Pas op!

Drank at a party where there were SA saying how it was the best lager in the world couldn’t disagree based upon the recent cricket results. But the beer is better than fosters.
