Yellow-golden colored, clear, moderate white head. Aroma is of malt and some grain, light herbal grassy hops, bit corn. Taste is medium sweet malt, bit of grain, some corny notes, some light straw, light+ bitterness. Medium bodied, soft+ carbonation. Not so bad compared to some of the other local brews... (bottle)

At a tasting, thanks, small bubbly head, clear deepish gold color, biscuity grainy aroma with just a hint of something skunky, sweet malty honey aroma and again, a bit of that skunkiness, coarse bitterness. Bad.

Bottle sample at a tasting at Dancing Camel. Thanks avrashi. Golden. Grainy aroma with some DMS. Slightly sweetish flavor, grainy, with a faint bitterish note in the finish. Light-bodied. Drinkable.

Keg at Radisson Blu, Addis Ababa. Clear golden body with a thin white head. Steady carbonation. No lacing. Aroma of grain and metal. Flavour of cereal with a clean finish. Thin body with a watery texture. Soft fizz. There’s not much to it but it’s quite nice really.
