2/7/2025. Bottle shared by Gus, huge thanks for sharing this. Brewed in République de Côte d'Ivoire (RCI). Pours clear golden with a frothy white head. Decent pour. Aroma is sweet, malty, grainy, caramel, a little damp with metallic, cracker and cardboard notes. Quite sweet with moderate bitterness. Medium body, smooth, soft carbonation. Imperial lager notes initial. Not the worst.
