A highly quaffable Session IPA, bursting with floral Simcoe hops, ideal for hot weather. “Siyabonga”, Ndebele for “thank you”, reflects our gratitude to you for buying a can of The Zambezi River.

Note the description at the brewpub no longer identifies the hop used but calls the hop “tropical”
Appearance: Arrives a pale golden color with a one finger head that fades to a collar; squiggles of lace
Smell: Hints of papaya and pine
Taste: The malt base is biscuity with hints of tropical and stone fruit; just a touch of piney bitterness
Mouthfeel: Light to medium body with moderate carbonation
Overall: Refreshing but nothing particularly startling in the hop profile; good for the hot weather here at Victoria Falls

Poured from the can into a pint glass in Victoria Falls. Aroma is floral hops and a light fruitiness. Taste is a little spicy with an earthy finish. This was a different beer to find among the pale lagers in Victoria Falls. Pretty good and refreshing after a day at the falls.
