Sep. 2011: Shared 330 ml bottle. Golden colour, slightly hazy, minimal head. Unpleasant sweetish industrial aroma, some fruity notes. Tolerably fresh flavour, some fruity notes. Not great, but not undrinkable either.

Compared to another Ethiopian pale beer (lager?), Harar, this is a much more standard, basic pale lager. Decent, it's pleasant and easy to drink, but nothing more and lacks the interest and uniqueness of Harar.
Straw-gold, it has with a fairly large, creamy, white head that slowly shrinks to a permanent thin top, leaving a little weak lacing.
The aroma is a basic, decent lager of light grain and bread with a hint of grapes.
The taste also mostly light and simple with light bread and grain, hints of cheap wine, white grape juice, and minerals. A very light grassy bitterness somewhat balances the sweetness. It's pleasant and easy to drink but very light and simple.

(Served in an American pint glass)
A- This beer pours a crystal clear straw yellow body with big bubbles gliding through it. There is a snow white head on top that last as a thin film for about two sips.
S- This beer has a soft almost perfumed sulfur smell that disappears as soon as the head does. Then the smell is nothing.
T- This beer has a light dry sulfury carbonic acid flavor followed by a light watery taste with just a hint of slightly sweet pale malt coming through when it is warm. The finish is a faint but harsh carbonic acid note. There is a very light hop aftertaste after the beer is pretty warm.
M- This beer has a light mouthfeel with a slight watery texture.
D- It didn't have any offensive flavors there was really not much flavors at all. Even after it was pretty warm there wasn't much to this beer. It was a bit more harsh than the St. George that was much more smooth.
