You want apple, fizz and zero fuss. Tusker Cider is exactly that: a big cold can of sweet-tangy apple that goes down like the easiest thing at the party. No hoppy bitterness to think about, no pretending you love beer. Crack it open at a nyama choma, on a hot afternoon, or at 11pm when you just want something fruity and fun. Done.
Pour it and you get a nose full of fresh green apple, with a little pear and citrus hiding behind it. The first sip is sweet and properly apple-y, like biting into a candied green apple, then a tangy snap keeps it from being sticky. It's fuller and rounder than a thin cider, with lively bubbles and a clean, zesty finish. Sweet leans the show, but the tartness keeps you coming back for the next gulp.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
This is Tusker, Kenya's most famous beer name, stepping out of the beer lane entirely. East African Breweries built the cider from the ground up around 2016, after their innovations team basically asked young Kenyans what they actually wanted to drink and worked backwards from the answer. The result is made from real apple juice, with no hops or barley in it at all, which also makes it gluten-free. Proudly brewed in Kenya, by the same Nairobi-rooted crew behind the elephant.
