Flag Spéciale (Cote dIvoire)

Brewed by Solibra
Style: Pale Lager
Abidjan, Ivory Coast

Pours gold with a white head. Smells of straw, some apples, skunky. Tastes watery with some sweet sticky malt on the finish. First drain pour in a while.

Green pale golden, no head. Sugary nose, a bit like ethiopian honey wine funnily enough, just lighter. Very light bitterness.

Blond color, a lot of foam. Ordinary Lager, on the sweet side. Probably suitable only in the African weather, but not too bad.

650 ml bottle, RBNAG07. Pale golden colour. Medium-sized coarse head that falls down quickly. Sharp metallic hop aroma. Light maltiness. Crisp hops. Light-bodied. Powdery texture. Very bland and industrial.

Bottle, 65cl at pre-RBNAG 07. Clear, pale golden beer with a minimal white head. Some fruityness in the aroma, slightly papery and with a very weak rubbery touch. Weak, fruity and slightly papery flavor, almost without finish. Thin and watery of course. Surely forgettable. Fun fact: Cote d’Ivoire is called Elfenbenskysten in Norwegian. (071102)

650ml bottle @ RBNAG’07. Pale golden body with almost no head at all. Aroma is weak malty/grassy. Flavor is sweet and harsh with some kind of chemical taste. It’s thin, it’s boring but fun to have tasted a beer from a country you didn’t know exist.

Bottle at RBNAG 07. Golden colour with a white head. Aroma is fruit, malt. Flavour is fruit, malt. Thin beer.

65 cl bottle. Golden color, small white head. Sweet malt, some hops and fruit - and that´s it. (RBNAG’07 in Grimstad Nov. 3th.)
