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.
