500ml bottle: Poured a very pale yellow color lager with nice foamy with head with better retention then expected. Aroma of malt and hops are very faint and almost non-existent. Taste is refreshing with some malt and very little hops. The surprising thing about this one is that it is not skunk even though is traveled 5000 miles in a light brown bottle. Re-rate late 2011 drank fresh at the source (Kenya): Not bad but still too sweet for my taste. Corn can still be felt.

Bottled. Pale yellow colour, mediumsized white bubbly head. Weak malty aroma. Malty flavour with artificial sweetness. A bit hayish finish.

Pour is a very watery yellow. Aroma is not so much. Flavor is pretty watery. You get some malts but that is about it. Alot of people say this is good on a hot day and i would agree. Almost close to water as a beer can get.

A yellow beer with a white head. The aroma is sweet and wheaty and so is the flavor. The end is dry and the body is thin.

Pale blond color. A very bad beer, smells and the flavor is bad as well, not even enough bitter.

Anything this light doesn't get far in my book for appearance. Small head to boot. Grassy and skunky scent (brown bottle and still skunky). I guess it's supposed to be there. Very average taste... just tastes like beer without any other dominant flavors creeping through. Good mouthfeel... really, it is. A good session beer candidate. Very easy to drink.

Heineken like, watery. There is some sour hops in there too. Friends who travelled Africa extensively in the 70's told me that refridgerated beverages were scarce there (Africa) at that time. This must be drunk ice cold or it might be offensive. I'm trying to be creative without saying Elephant Piss.
