Tusker Ndimu – Kenya’s Zesty Citrus Lager
Get ready to crack open a can of vibrant Kenyan refreshment with Tusker Ndimu, a 300ml burst of lemon-flavored lager brewed by Kenya Breweries Limited (KBL) in their iconic Ruaraka brewery, Nairobi—a name that’s been pouring pride since 1922. Launched in December 2023 during EABL’s 100-year celebration bash, this isn’t just a beer—it’s a taste of “Kenyanness” at 4.2% ABV, fusing the crisp, classic Tusker lager base with a zesty ndimu (Swahili for lemon) twist that’s as central to Kenyan culture as ugali and nyama choma. Crafted with 100% African ingredients—barley from the Savannah and Maasai Mara, spring water from the Aberdare Ranges, and locally grown yeast—it’s spiked with natural lemon flavor from Murang’a’s citrus groves, delivering a brew that’s crisp, clean, and unmistakably local. Pour it out, and you’ll see a pale golden glow with a frothy white head, teasing your senses with an aroma that’s a Nairobi street vendor’s dream—bright lemon zest leaps out, mingling with light malt sweetness and a faint grassy hop whisper, like a cool morning in the highlands. Sip it, and it’s a citrus celebration: a smooth lager foundation flows with a gentle malt backbone, lifted by a zingy lemon punch, finishing with a crisp, refreshing snap that’s as lively as a matatu horn.

What’s the secret behind Tusker Ndimu? It’s the heritage and the innovation. KBL’s brewmasters start with the same time-tested recipe as Tusker Lager—born in 1922 after George Hurst’s elephant-hunting tragedy—blending malted barley and hops for that signature crispness, then infusing it with real lemon essence to honor Kenya’s love for ndimu in everything from mahindi choma to ginger dawa. Unveiled alongside Pilsner Mfalme at a microbrewery opening in Ruaraka, this 4.2% ABV brew keeps it light yet flavorful—perfect for a sunny braai at Karura Forest, a casual lunch with friends, or a night out in Westlands where the citrus cuts through Nairobi’s heat. Serve it ice-cold at 4-6°C straight from the can to amplify that zesty kick—pair it with spicy sukuma wiki, where the lemon cools the fire, or grilled fish, where it dances with the smoky char like a pro. The 300ml can, with its sleek Tusker branding and a nod to the elephant logo, is built for the hustle—ideal for tossing in a cooler for a picnic at Uhuru Park, sharing at a rooftop jam, or stocking your fridge for those spontaneous moments when you need a taste of Kenya’s soul with a citrus twist. Tusker Ndimu isn’t just a beer—it’s a vibe, a sip of Ruaraka’s legacy and Murang’a’s bounty, canned up for Nairobi’s flavor-craving crowd who live for drinks that blend tradition with a bold edge. Enjoy it responsibly—this zesty gem’s got a freshness that keeps you coming back.
