600ml bottle from Beers of Europe. Pours clear gold with a medium-sized white head that lasts for about half a minute. Aroma is malt, cooked vegetables. Taste is grain and sweet malt, light bitter. Boring pale lager. Not even very drinkable.

0,6 flaske fra African House (Abel Cathrines gade, København), på hytta: klar gylden med fint skum som varer. Aroma og smak av malt og noe floralt jeg ikke kjenner igjen - kan det være sorghum? Grei tørsteslukker etter en økt med rull, pensel, tape og gardintrapp.

From old tasting notes. Hazy yellow gold color. Grainy wet cardboard aroma. Sweet malt flavor. There is a curious sweet musty flavor that is neither good nor bad. Bittersweet malty finish.

Bottle at home traded with SarkyNorthener. Cheers! Pours clear orange gold with a decent white head. Aroma is potato, damp cardboard, malt and a little straw. Taste is a little sweetness malt, some straw and caramel. OK carbonation. Mediocre at best

600ml bottle, out of date. Guess who forgot they didn’t need a country tick from Nigeria? Gold with a white head that lasts OK. Pretty wholesome aroma is grainy with some lemon and light floral notes. Lightish bodied, moderate carbonation. Taste has some of that spicy graininess that I think is sorghum but it’s not unpleasant. Cleanish and somewhat sweetly bland with enough bitterness to provide a finish. The modest hop aromatics are a bit dull and make the whole thing seem a little flat. But really this is not bad at all and way above expectations - a slightly better than average pale lager.
