Can. Thx to little brother. Pours a rather pale golden body with a small white head. A bit artficial fruityness in the aroma, as well as grains, but weak. A little lactic touch as well, but not totally ruining it. Fruity flavor as well, with something reminiscent of hoppy bitterness, as well as pale malt and an unpleasant flavor in the far back. Thin body. There’s a finish too, but the start is better. There’s a fruity-sourish, fruity, malty and slightly bitter flavor, as well as an rather unpleasant something. Touch of alcohol too. I don’t think it’s even suited as thirst quencher. (080402)

Bottle, 60cl, 5.2%. (Nigerian version) (pre-RBNAG 07) Clear, pale golden pour with a minimal, white head and something small and unidentified floating in it. Grainy, a bit fruity aroma, quite pleasant actually. The flavor is more on the grainy side, with wet cardboard and some fruityness. Thin mouthfeel. The beer is mostly refreshing, and better than expected. To say it’s a good beer wouldn’t be right, though. (071102)

Bottle at RBNAG 07. Golden colour with a white head. Aroma and flavour is thin and fruit and malt and nothing more. Thin and boring beer.

Bottled(270ml). -One of the worst African beers that I’ve tried. Brought by a friend from Graz, Austria. Very weak and tasteless beer. Pale golden coloured, small white head, low carbonation, dusty bready nose. Thin malty and grainy aroma with obviuos corn presence. Watery finish. Is this a beer or giraffe piss?

Land #40 Die große Flasche kommt ohne Mindesthalbarkeitsdatum zu mir, daher wird es schnellstmöglich getestet. Das Bier riecht süß, nach überreifer Banane. Ein malziges und hopfiges Aroma tritt im Antrunk auf, wird im Mittelteil allerdings von einem wässrig-süßen Aroma verdrängt. Der Abgang fällt noch etwas lascher aus, weiterhin wässrig wie im Mittelteil, nur ist dieses mal kein süßlicher, sondern ein leicht hopfiger und gar hefiger Teil erschmeckbar. Vom Antrunk zum Abgang wird es immer lascher, trotzdem ein überraschend gutes afrikanisches Bier. Test vom 25.4.2006, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 11,12,12,10,5,11 - 10,85

Metallern und wässrig riecht das Bier, dafür ist der Scham besser als beim Gulder. Leicht süßlich, gleichzeitg wässrig, im Nachgeschmack auch mal metallern und hopfig. Schmeckt wie einige andere 08/15 Biere auch. Zum besaufen geeignet, geschmacklich unten durch. Die groß (wirklich groß) und oft bescheinigte Premium Qualität auf dem Etikett ist ein Witz. Test vom 25.4.2006, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 11,6,10,5,7,6 - 7,00
