Review and Tasting

Sampled before 1st May 2011

Appearance

Clear, plale blond amber.

Aroma

Freshly fried plain pancakes doused with a few drops of lemon juice.

Taste

Pretty uneventful, nothing offensive but apart from a touch of unripe banana, no real flavour or character either.

Aftertaste

Short finish - what little falvour there is dies quickly. A light crisp and refreshing lager - served ice cold probably better appreciated in the Kenyan heat.
