Drought at Radisson Blu Addis Ababa. Rich yellow with spongy white head, vanilla aroma, slightly metallic taste with very little impression of hops, fizzy, abrupt finish. Strangely enough, enjoyable especially after a long day!

Bottle @ weekly tasting shared by Dutchdrebus. Clear golden color, small white head. Smell lightly malts, raisins somehow and weird fruityness. Taste lightly malts, again some weird fruityness and fruitpeel. Don’t really know what to think about this. Doesn’t taste like any other pale lager I’ve ever tasted. Weird, though not necessarily bad.

Faint sour malt aroma. Cloudy golden color with sparse head. Tastes like water, at its best like extrermely weak ginger ale. Palate- again nothing. I will say that n a country liek Ethiopia, it is probably very thirst quenching...

Bottle courtesy of Maki, thank you ma’am! Clear golden color, thick white head that settles quickly, decent lacing. Aroma of paper and white pepper. Taste is bitter fruit and light spice. Pretty tasty for an African lager.
