Old rating from 2010 - 500ml bottle brought at ASDA on a UK road trip, exciting because I'd had this many time when travelling in Kenya in the 90's. Poured at home in Jersey, it's clear amber with a small white head. Aromas & tastes of flora, grain, corn, grass & malt. Moderate body. Moderate bitter finish. Very enjoyable in the heat of East Africa, but as ever less so at home.
