Picture ripe mango hitting your tongue first, sweet and full, then a slow flicker of chilli heat sneaks up right at the back. That's this cider in one sip. It's the bottle you crack on a hot Nairobi evening when a plain lager feels boring and you want something with a bit of attitude. At 8% it carries proper weight too, so one round goes the distance. Real fruit, real kick, zero apology.
Crack it and you get a wave of tropical mango on the nose, ripe and juicy, with a faint warm spice humming underneath. First sip is all sweet mango, soft and rounded, like biting into fruit straight off the tree. Then the chilli arrives. Not a sharp slap, more a gentle glow that builds across your tongue and lingers after you swallow. It's bright golden in the glass with a light, lively fizz. The finish stays smooth and just a touch spicy, so you keep going back for more.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
This is Kenyan Originals, the Nairobi craft crew started by Alexandra Chappatte back in 2016 out of a single shipping container. She'd left a big global drinks job to make booze from actual Kenyan fruit, taking a cue from muratina, the traditional fruit brew. Everything happens in-house in Nairobi, from crushing the fruit to filling the bottle. This one leans on apple mangoes from Makueni and fiery little bird's-eye chillies from Kilifi, hand-crushed and infused. No additives, no preservatives, just fruit and fire.
