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.

First beer tick upon arrival to Mauritius at a bar in Flik en Flak. But sadly, it does disappoint! A bit of a nasty green weedy, resinous and malt character, that if done right could have been ok. As far as this one goes, I’m glad I chose the small pour.

Bottle at my temporary home in Praslin. Clear golden with a sweet red apple, almost light doughy and artificial flavour. Not the best but I do like the label. It genuinely a nice picture of a turtle and the font is good too. The iconic Seychelles granite rocks and palm trees finish the scene nicely. Makes me think I should go and visit those massive tortoises that they have around here rather than drinking not-very-good beer and cider.

Bottle at my apartment in Mahe. Standard lager appearance. Aroma is malty, light musty, grain. Just dull.

Well I guess I have to tick this one. I’m here and it’s pretty much all there is to drink in most places. This particular one was my first. Enjoyed back in my apartment in Male just before leaving. It looks the usual. Clear gold, lively, white head. Aroma gets very boring very quick. Dull malts, cardboard. Damn this is a shock after drinking the beers from the new craft brewery here.

Draft at the source. It’s their normal stout, but with local vanilla. And the vanilla is strong! Natural, lovely with cacao and a light roastiness behind. It’s a light stout. But it’s pretty full of flavour and aroma. Of course the body is pretty light. Good stuff though.
