Beers of the World country 150: Eritrea 🇪🇷

"The beer is light pale yellow in colour with a bubbly foam top. Smells like any other African lager. Initial taste is crisp and malty before finishing on the sweeter side. Decent for an African lager and something to look for if you find yourself in an Eritrean restaurant!" - beersoftheworldproject.wordpress.com
