Tusker Lager 50cl

This is a Kenyan lager, named after the African bull elephant. Tusker pours a pale golden colour with a thick bubbly, ivory coloured (I had to say it) head. Strong aroma for its style; sweet malt with a hoppy (Saaz?) nose, very typical of the hoppier pilsners but not in a bad way. Good mouthfeel, full malt flavour that I've never recieved from an adjunct lager before. Smooth flavour overall, malt isn't too sweet but very well rounded and no corn bite. On the palate Tusker is refreshingly dry and bitter, again with prominent hop character. There is little or no sweetness and not much in the way of malt flavours - perhaps some very lightly roast lager-malt notes tempering the hops. Aftertaste is palate-cleansingly bitter and hoppy, lingering lightly on the tongue. This was a pleasant surprise - in a good pilsner style.
