They had this one at Tana Ethiopian restaurant in Pittsburgh. +++ Sampled from an 11.2 oz brown bottle this beer poured a dark amber color with a huge fluffy orange-white head that lingered and left decent lacing. The aroma was tangy and sweet table sugar, pear and apple. The flavor was tangy and almost boozy with notes of table sugar, pear, apple and a hint of bread. The finish was long and tangy with sugar and golden fruits. Moderately full bodied. Solid.

Bottle from an Ethiopian grocer in the Jerusalem market. Slightly amberish golden colour. The aroma is fairly heavy on the adjuncts. Light grainy taste. Thins out at the end. Otherwise, an ok macrobrew.

At a tasting, thanks eyes_wide_shut, clear light gold colour, aroma of decaying fruit and a strange old maltiness, sickly sweetness with notes of plywood, almonds and a musty sensation, light undefinable bitterness. Quite bad.
