Bottle at RISC Global Café, Reading. Pours a dull gold with a thin white head and an obvious fizz. Rather watery, although not as bad as some pale lagers. It’s pretty sweet, with sweetcorn up front and a faint sour note. There is a little hop bitterness in the finish, but this adds no particular flavour. Pretty much indistinguishable from all the other cheap mass-produced lagers out there, and equally as grim as most of them. But hey, it’s a tick from Ethiopia!

Pours a clear golden color, topped with white head. Soon only a small white cover is left. The basic malty and grainy aroma is easy to pick up, slightly skunky as well. The taste is light and watery, slightly sweet. No real bitterness in the finish. No aftertase. Actually, no taste at all.

330ml bottle @ the Sixth Shrewsbury Bottle Share, June 14, courtesy of me. Picked this up from an Ethiopian restaurant in London. Middle of the road lager, nothing mind-blowing although perfectly drinkable. Bought more for the novelty. Would have again.

Sampled from an 11.2 oz brown bottle this beer poured a dark golden amber color with a huge creamy white head that lingered forever and left good lacing. The aroma was sweetish and tangy with notes of sour marsh and citrus. The flavor was tangy and sweet bread, sour mash and a hint of honey and citrus. Medium length tangy and sweet beady finish. Medium body. Blah.
