Day 155 Tusker

So, July 4th, and over at the Procs for an afternoon/evening on the lake with the extended Proc clan, and voila they produce a new beer for the blog (and gave it to me whilst I can still type and a laptop to type on... ;>) ). This one is somewhat special, as they had it last year on their trip to Africa, and a friend of theirs found some up in MA and gave them to them.

I'm beginning to think the Africans know how to make good lager. Pale yellow pour, and a very refreshing drink. It has a clean, very subtle malt flavor, and after an hour sitting on the dock and another pounding the water with a Rooster Tail for bass, it really hits the spot. Sadly, it is almost gone, way before the blog is over... ;>(

Specs:

Full Name: Tusker Finest Quality Lager
Brewed by: East African Breweries Ltd
From: Nairobi Kenya
ABV: 4.2%

Well, not going to break any records on the ABV, but hey, sometimes it isn't about that. Besides, you could easily drink enough of these to get to the desired level anyways. I need to find where these are sold in the US. Not sure if it beats out the Lion Lager, but it would be a good test to put them side by side.
