Bottle from a world food store in Chelmsford. Clear pale gold colour with a white head. Slight malt aroma, with cereal. Quite high carbonation, light body. Not one of the better pale lagers.

Rating from 2008. 33cl-bottle. Meine Flasche hat nur ein Bauchetikett ohne Zutaten oder MHD. Nur Name, Inhalt, Alkoholgehalt und Brauerei sind auf Englisch aufgeführt. Dunkelgelbe Farbe im Glas, würzig-alkoholisch-vergorener Geruch. Der Antrunk ist sehr getreidig-würzig und leicht süßlich. Zum Hauptteil wird das Bier würziger und süßlicher mit einer interessant muffigen Note. Der Nachgeschmack ist leicht metallisch und ziemlich schnell verflogen. Dabei würzig-getreidig und leicht malzig-süßlich. Sehr süffig. --> Interessantes, exotisches Bier, aber für den deutschen Dauergebrauch eher weniger meins! 12,8,12,6,12,7 - 8,50

Rating from 2009. 33cl-bottle. Dunkelgelb im Glas, würzig-getreidiger Geruch. Der Antrunk ist mild-würzig und leicht herb. Zum Hauptteil kommt eine angenehm süffige Süße hinzu, das Ganze Bier ist sehr mild und angenehm. Bei weitem nicht so brotig wie das St. George. Zum Nachgeschmack wird dasBier ziemlich schnell flach, ganz leicht metallisch. Die herbe Note verfliegt nach dem Hauptteil ziemlich schnell und das Bier wird ganz leicht muffig. --> Leckeres, exotisches Bier. Und als äthiopisches Bier für meinen Geschmack besser als das St. George. 12,9,12,8,12,9 - 9,75

330ml bottle from Beers of Europe - Clear golden yellow, frothy white head, looks as good as any Lager/Pilsener/Kölsch/Helles style beer. Nose is a feint lemony kind of tinge, taste has something similar, with a not too bad mouthfeel. Quite enjoyed this to be honest.

Appearance: Golden color with a frothy white head. Ok lacing.
Aroma: The aroma was unfortunately not very inviting. Cabbage & malt. (Mybee it was the lovely Akerselva that had some scheisse flowing by at that moment)
Palate: Medium body. Slightly sweet and a mild bitterness. Average carbonation.
Taste: Slightly sweet malty and mild hoppy.
Overall impression: It was better than expected. Especially after that aroma. Fresh and easy drinkable.
Personal stats: Bottle from a trade with KnutAlbert. Enjoyed a lovely afternoon in Oslo by the river, together with Mr Visionthing and Mr Arve_Christian.

33cl bottle (shared by Cunningham - thanks!) Pours golden with a large, white head. Fairly malty aroma with sweet corn, cooked vegetables and hints of fruits. Fairly sweet, not much bitterness, but hints of hops and some bitterness in the finish. Medium to light body. Ok pale lager, but far from interesting. (2013-04-19)

Bottle from Beers of Europe. By no means the worst pale lager but nothing much going for it either. Pale, lager, carbonated.

12oz bottle at this little Ethiopian spot at 14th and P Streets NW in DC. For those who don’t know, DC has a thriving Ethiopian community and I am just getting around to trying their beer. Pour a clear gold with some sudsy, sticky white head. Nose of honey, wet flour, light dough, hay, grass. Flavor is the same, sweet, malty, some heavy honey, white bread, hay. Clean, smooth finish. Not bad at all.

Fluffy white head over big-bubbled yellow golden beer. Straw, grassy, dusty grass. Faintly wet hay, some dry, not-too-sweet malts. Very malty, sweetness comes out more in force warming up. Light to watery, very slightly sticky MF. Less sweet than the other Ethiopian beer, but not necessarily better. Thanks to the V. Brothers and their mystery supplier
