Gold coloured brew which actually taste not so very well. It has his beery moments, some wet cardboars, some metal, some corn, some dryness. Old paper ratings before Ratebeer, so why not rate them in hindsight.
30/11/2024. Bottle shared at Ulfborg tasting. Pours close to black with a small pale tan coloured head. Good pour. Aroma is malted, chocolate, cocoa, nut. Bittersweet taste. Not as enjoyable a version as some other African countries produce.
Bottle @ fonefan tasting. Nice head with good duration. Color is black. Aroma and taste are roast malt, chocolate, caramel, citrus and hops. Sour roasty finish.

Country #96 - Rwanda 🇷🇼 An accidental find in an African restaurant in Zürich. It was the last bottle available. It expired in June and wasn’t chilled. Expectations were low, but it’s a nice, clean pilsner! 👍🏼 Nothing sophisticated but underrated.
