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

An orange beer with a small head. The aroma is sweet malty with hints of caramel and hops. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of caramel, but the mouthfeel is flat and the body is thin. I bet this is better under the scorching sun in Nigeria than on a cold snowy winters night in Copenhagen.

Bottle. Slightly sour malt aroma - not bad. Medium yellow color with moderate head. Mild malt flavor - moderate carbonation. Fairly bland - interesting to know about the sorghum law although I can’t really detect it. Not unpleasant - a good enough beer.

Bottled. Clear golden, small head. Undefined adjunct aroma. Dry and very thin with sharp, empty mouthfeel. A slight hint of grass in the finish. Significantly thinner than Gulder, the othe rlager brand from this brewery.

Bottled. Bright golden, airy head. Fruity, grainy aroma. Sweet and somewhat yeasty. Medium bodied with low bitterness. Uneventful, but drinkable

Malty, fruity aroma but the palate falls apart and gets cidery, likely from too-warm fermentation temperature. Hard to believe this competes with the masterpiece that Guinness makes down there.
