Udofot Lager Beer

 Udofot Lager Beer.

5% ABV, 10 IBU, Udofot Enterprises, brewed by Minhas in Wisconsin. 

I am now going to drink and review the Udofot lager beer, brewed by Minhas in Wisconsin, for Udofot Enterprises, a company led by Michael Udofot, a resident of Richfield, MN and a Nigerian-American immigrant. The recipe was devised by Udofot’s father while in Nigeria, which explains the words “since 1975” on the label. This is why they can use the phrase “African recipe”, but it remains unclear what the “Nigerian flavors” are. I am unsure whether it was merely a homebrew or was ever commercially produced in Africa. I do know that Mr. Udofot had previously contracted the beer to be produced by a Minnesota brewery, then imported to Nigeria. 

And that is all I will say before the notes begin.  I urge you to visit their website and Google them. Watch the videos. Enjoy the harmonica of Emmy-winner Jethro Blue. 

Clear, bright golden/amber, slim white head. 

In the nose: cereal grains, mild hops, mostly malty. 

In the mouth: clean, sweet, more malt. Not quite crisp. Light bodied, sparse flavors in the finish. Perfectly inoffensive. Not especially interesting, but there’s worse crimes than that. An absolutely okay beer and you can drink it. 

Clear gold lager, brewed with Saskatchewan barley, hops grown in the Mid-west to the Pacific Northwest, and a proprietary yeast. Not as sweet as your typical lager, truest "bread in a can" beer around.
