Sample from Grumbo, via minutemat. Drank at home on 28th October 2021. Golden body, white head. Dry tasting grainy brew. I've certainly had worse beers from Africa, this isn't exciting, but it's by no means nasty. My second beer from this brewery and the third form DR of Congo.

T: almost medium malty base, corny, mineral water, bit caramel, bit oxidized yet no big flaws here, ok for light tropical beer, medium carbonation.

Sample thanks to Grumbo. Clear gold appearance, fine foamy white head. Aroma has a hint of cardboard alongside malt and corn. Taste has a gentle lager sweetness with indistinct adjunct, cardboard, soft carbonation, light bodied. Not great, but by no means the worst.

Sample courtesy of Grumbo, cheers Graham! Golden colour, afew white bubbles on top and aroma of malt, corn grain, cardboard, earthy. Taste is sweetish, malt, grain, caramel, fruity hints, with cardboard notes and some bitterness. Light bodied, low carbonation, bitter finish. Kind of OK

2/10/2021. Bottle received via Poland courtesy of Marek. Pours clear pale golden with a small frothy white head. Aroma of sweet malt, stewed veg, caramel, overripe fruit, wet cardboard. Medium sweetness and moderate bitterness. Light body, oily watery texture, soft carbonation. Bit of bitterness to finish. Grew on me.

Fine lazy bubbling keeping very good frothy white head over darker golden beer, leaving lace. "Beery"nose, malts & classical hops, grassy, herbal. Uninteresting but not bad. Neutral to sweet but with a toasted & grassy finish. Pale malts, some adjunct hints, sweeterer warming up. Light body but gristslick; good carbonation. Surprisingly not half as bad as expected. International lager, but worse definitely exists.
