Orijin Bear

Orijin is a Nigerian beer produced by Diaego/Guinness Nigeria PLC. Sold in dark green 65 centiliter bottles with an alcohol content of 6%, Orijin is similar to beer in appearance and strength. Unlike beer, the drink contains no barley or hops, but is self-promoted as “a bittersweet blend with flavors of African spices and fruits.” Labeled ingredients include water, alcohol, sugar and plant extract (kola nut, plum, oak, bitter orange peel, wormwood). The resulting flavor is a bitter cocktail with hints of citrus that give it a deliciously distinct flavor. Anecdotally, many fans of the drink claim that the herbs that give it its distinctive taste and work to prevent or counteract a hangover after a night of drinking.
