I don't really tick much nowadays. Still enjoy a decent beer just as much, along with the community that Ratebeer originally built.

I've not moved to that popular app and never will - It's become a monopoly which is having too much influence on today's craft beer scene.

Well well well, so I happened to find this in the supermarket earlier. I assume it’s been sitting around for a while, but the ticker in me can’t resist another slightly more unusual country tick (when I’m in the country). While Thirsty Fox are the ones you see the most here in Mauritius that are more on the craft end, they’re considered by locals to be big-beer owned (I haven’t checked) and from what I’ve tried the quality is not so great. This beer in particular is just a malty lager without much going on.

Bottle at my current Mauritius home. Hazy golden blonde with a white head. Banana yeast, cloves and wheat. Pretty true to form, but not too interesting.

Hazy dull golden with a big lively carbonation head. Green weedy upfront with fruits behind. Decent enough in these parts.

Bottle at my current Mauritius home. Hazy amber brown with an off white head. Ripe dark fruits, malt and caramel. Moderate sweet and bitter. Nice enough but not a style that particularly excites me.

Bottle at home that I scored from a supermarket around the corner from the brewery as they can’t legally sell for take away. As you can see from the picture, I Dean poured it. But hey it’s not easy with the glasses they give you at an apartment in the village where I’m staying. Anyway, it’s lively, fairly carbonated, grassy and herbal hops. Malt behind. Not bad at all.
