Bouteille 33cl au resto Chin à Niamey. Finalement, la fermeture de Braniger aura permi aux bières du Bénin et Togo, Burkina d'être encore plus visible ici. On retrouve une lager classique du continent, et surtout de l'Afrique de l'Ouest. Blonde dorée, col blanc moyen. Arôme est tout autant classique de pale lager, notes axées sur les grains, pils, rétro houblonné noble apportant un léger côté citronné tout en gardant ce penchant plus métallique. Palais est léger, à 4.4% c'est un peu plus bas que la norme de la région. Malt pils, amertume des houblons est au minimum - retrouve ici sûrement du concentré de houblon - vu le lieu de production. Une bonne alternative sur Niamey, à se demander pourquoi les gens se forcent à boire cette merde de Heineken à 3fois le prix, alors que ce produit est nettement meilleur.

Brown bottle (which might make a huge difference). Clear pale yellow color with white head. Aroma is sweet stuff, grains, fruits. Taste is the same. Oily mouthfeel with low carbonation. Meh, but not offensive.

Bottle courtesy of Moritz, cheers Moritz!, at home Attenkirchen, Saturday 21st September 2019. Pours gold with a white head, soft carbonation, rather pedestrian, light cereal, but it's having a go at being ok.

Aroma is harsh peas some straw and some lager stuff. Taste is sour fresh citric and slme bitter straw. Pretty drinkable but bland of course.

Bottle, thanks Moritz! Very light gold, thin head. The bottle is not green (thankfully). Flavor is very thin, tinge of malt sweetness and a hop has possibly been waved over the wort during the boil. Benin has done it much better than a lot of such lagers from the USA.

Bottle. Super pale, low head. Hay, sour grain, light off aromas. Medium body, sweet sugary, light grain, ok grass, unclean finish.
