Clear pale yellow, white head with some lacing. Simple yet extremely clean pale malts, not even smells sugary. No hops. Similar taste - pure pale males, moderate sweetness, light bur not thin. Light spicy / Alco bitterness. Unexpectedly well done.

11th June 2019; Shrewsbury Beer Exchange meeting in Chez Sophie, cheers to me for finding this in London and sharing with four like minded friends! 650ml bottle, amber bodied, off-white head with lacing to follow. Malty and pretty sweet from start to finish, a bit one dimensional, but you'd never guess it was brewed in Africa.

Bottle @ monthly tasting, Chez Sophie, June 19, thanks Jeremy for bringing this back from the big city. Hazy brown appearance, frothy off-white head. Grainy nose. Taste is grainy dark malt, some distant chocolate grain. Surprising to see this style being brewed here, and it's not too shabby.

Shared 330 ml can at local tasting. Reddish brown colour, beige head. Very moderate aroma, notes of malts and caramel. Malty flavour, bready with caramel, but not extremely sweet. Very moderate hops. No off-flavours. Fair enough.
