Alcohol Content: 4.6%
Sourced: Half Time Beverage, Poughkeepsie, New York, USA

Notes: At first taste it tastes of nothing at all, then the more you drink the more it grows on you. Nothing special but I can imagine it tastes great in the heat of Nicaragua!

Alcohol Content: 5.0%
Sourced: Half Time Beverage, Poughkeepsie, NY, USA

Size: 330mL
Alcohol Content: 5.5%
Sourced: Muglan Nepalese Restuarant, Sydney, NSW, Australia
World Beer Rating: 4/10

Beer: Kilikia Jubilee
Brewed: Yerevan Brewery, Yerevan, Armenia
Size: 500mL
Alcohol Content: 5.1%
Sourced: Yerevan, Armenia (thanks to Arkady Gundroff!)
World Beer Rating: 6/10

Notes: Light bodied, well carbonated. Extremely metallic flavour, very like Obolon Lager from the Ukraine. Slight corn flavour. Not bad at all, I reckon this would be much better on tap instead of a bottle.

Date Consumed: 28th February 2012
Beer: Gulder Lager
Brewed: Ghana Breweries Limited, Kumasi, Ghana
Size: 650mL
Alcohol Content: 5.0%
Sourced: African Food Market on Electric Avenue, Brixton, London, United Kingdom
World Beer Rating: 4/10

Notes: I’m not sure if I was expecting something more, but luckily I didn’t have high expectations. Bland but not tasteless, Gulder has hops in the aftertaste that lingers. Definitely better drunk in Ghana than a cold United Kingdom, but lets move on.

Date Consumed: 26th February 2012
