Pour this one ice-cold and the first sip is clean as a whistle, then a little tangerine sneaks in and makes you go "oh, hello." It's a pilsner that drinks easy but isn't dull, which is exactly what you want next to a plate of nyama choma or when the night's just getting going. Crisp up top, a soft spicy bitterness underneath, and gone before you know it. Grab a few, because one is never one.
Crack it open and you get a fresh, almost piney hop smell with a citrus lift, like someone zested a tangerine over a meadow. The sip is smooth and light-bodied, gentle bready malt doing the base work while a resiny, faintly spicy hop character keeps it interesting. Bitterness is real but polite, around 30 IBU, the kind that cleans your palate and asks for the next sip rather than puckering you up. Dry, bright finish. Nothing hangs around to weigh you down.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
Bila Shaka is a proudly Kenyan craft brewery brewing up in the Great Rift Valley, with taprooms dotted around Nairobi. The name means "without doubt" in Swahili, and "Porini" means "in the wild," which fits a beer brewed with only natural ingredients. They took the old-school Bohemian pilsner, the original golden lager from Pilsen, and dragged it into the future with modern dry-hopping for that extra citrus-and-pine twist. Properly local, properly good.
