Clean grassy aroma. Brassy gold color with a white head that persevered. Smooth, full bodied, effervescent carbonation, decent light malt, and a hop finish that’s decent. Better than most USA mass produced watery products. Much better.

(33 cl bottle from Systembolaget) Clear pale golden color, fast dissapearing white head. Hay, corn and acidic sweet malt scent. Sweet malty taste with a really thin empty aftertaste. Rather dry. Spritzy high co2 mouthfeel. Low bitterness. Not terrible, but not good either.

Bottled. Golden colour, small white head. Malts and slight hops in aroma. Flavour is sweetish malts along with hoppyness. Some metal in the flavour also, especially when it gets warmer the erraneous flavours are there.

Tin from friend. Aroma of maize, pale barley. Pale colour, small fast moving head. Looks like an industrial beer. Weak flavour, more maize than barley. Tastes like an industrial beer. Metallic finish, perhaps the can was too old, perhaps it’s just that I seldom drink beer from cans. There was a time when I drank this daily, and enjoyed it. I don’t know if it was the African heat, or it was better in those days. It’s better than Miller Lowlife, but not much better. This beer should stay in Seffrica, and not be drunk there.

Can, brewed at Tanzanian Breweries. Golden, with a small, white head. Mild, mostly floral aroma, and a thin flavor of malt and some hops. Thin body, and a bitter and metallic finish. Quite boring, and not too pleasant. (060604)
