Bottle at home, Bestbefore date 12-2019, meh... Golden beer, medium head. Aroma is grain, malt, bit stale. Taste is the same, bitter, light sweet, malty, not bad actually. Expected way worse, this is drinkable.

Den kreativ-miesen Rezensionen meiner Kollegen kann ich mich anschließen. Gefunden in einem Ethno-Supermarkt am Gürtel in Wien, wo ich offenbar der einzige österreichische Besucher war. Aber es gibt eine nette Auswahl an exotischen Speisen und natürlich Bieren, so auch dieses. Meines kam in einer eigenen 0,66 l-Flasche, von der ich aber nur 2 Schlucke trank und der Rest direkt in den Ausguss wanderte. Es ist einfach nur abstrus und hat einen grauslichen, metallischen Geschmack und eine chemische Schaumkrone. So richtig widerlich, da tun einem die Afrikaner gleich noch mehr leid und man will gleich nochmals was spenden. Man kann es kosten, um seine BIer-Weltreise zu erweitern, aber geschmacklich ist es einfach nur widerwärtig.

Bottle at the Victoria in Dalston. Didn't think this was as bad as its rating. Amber coloured with small white head. Aroma sweet malty, touch of hops. Taste, bit of toffee and quite sweet. Yeah, it's a macro lager, but it's not so bad.

Bottle, 60 cl, bought in an African shop in Enschede. Golden color. Fresh aroma with even a bit of flowery hops. Blandish but decent flavor with a light grassy hop character. Short aftertaste. Better as expected.

600ml botttle. Pale golden colour, white foam head and aroma of malt, grain, corn, straw. Taste is sweet, malty, grainy, with some grassy bitterness. Watery mouthfeel, light bodied, high carbonation, dry grassy metallic bitter finish with residual sweetness. Quite bland pale lager.
