Mamba

Brewed by Solibra
Style: Premium Lager
Abidjan, Ivory Coast

This used to be a huge novelty beer when it was still available. I remember a surprisingly pleasent palate and good malt character. As others have said, this is very close to typical American Malt Liquors.

This bottled brew poured a large sized head of fine to large sized white colored mostly diminishing bubbles that left behind a fair lacing. The body was transparent carbonated and orange in color. It had an malty aroma with a hint of orange peel in it and a medium tingly smooth mouth feel with a very light aftertaste. The flavor contained notes of mild low alcohol malt liquor that was malty and thin. This Malt Liquor would be good for people wanting an atypical Malt Liquor without the strong Malt Liquor flavor and palate

Bottle. Large white head that poured creamy and smooth. Fast rising carbonation, transparent and a yellow hue. Malty, sweet and fruity aroma. Sweet and somewhat hoppy flavor from start to finish. Very smooth mouthfeel. Light-medium bodied beer with decent lacing. Nothing special here with this one IMO.

The middle of the road comment is on target. Not offensive or bad, just doesn’t grab me in the least. Can you say lawn mower?

I liked this beer alot It was only like $4 a 22oz bottle for me but it had a nice taste and aroma and wonderful kick

I found notes from last years tasting of this African lager, which was part of ’international beer quest’ at a chain eatery. ’Middle of the road’ is the qoute that sums it up.

Fine, but nothing earth-shattering. The only place I’ve had this was at Old Chicago, and it was prohibitively expensive (8 bucks for 22 oz., I think) for what was inside. Malty, firm, and passable, but more or less like Paulaner Munich Lager, and not exotic at all, really. I thought Africans made beer out of millet. Now that would have been cool!
