Beer #11 - East African Breweries Tusker Lager

East African Breweries Tusker Lager

Tusker Lager was renamed after co-founder of the Kenya Brewery, the original brewer of Tusker, George Hurst was killed by an elephant while on a hunting trip in 1923.

Very pale straw coloured with a very white thick foamy head, which clings to the side of the glass.

A very hoppy aroma with citrus and malty notes. The hops come straight to the forefront with citrus and malty notes coming in the mid taste and fading to the hoppyness lingering at the end. 

It drinks smooth, refreshing and light.

Overall it's a pretty undistinguished lager very typical of other African beers. Refreshing to drink on a summer day.
