It’s yellow (or golden, as you like it) and smells beautiful. The taste is delicious.

It attracts apes (monkeys) and people really love it. I think that there’s a beer flavoured with it.

Flavored beer? What a revolting thought, Nymann. :o

And I thought that kiwi-flavored coffee was the most disgusting thing imaginable.

The McMenamin chain of brewpubs in northwest Oregon claim they were
the first (way back in 1985) to legally make fruit flavored beers in the U.S.
and they remain among the most daring of brewers. Walk into any of their
ten pubs and you’ll find beers made with blueberry, passionfruit,
cranberry, marionberry, apricot, or rhubarb.

Do you mean one of these perhaps?

It might be one of the Mbungu fruits belonging to the Landolphia genus. You can read a description and let us know if any of the fruits fits your experience.

Nor a fruit, for that matter.

I never said that rhubarb was the word/fruit I was searching.  ;)

African beers include khadi, made in Botswana, brewed from honey and wild berries; two sorghum-based drinks burukutu (Nigeria) and Kaffir beer (South Africa), which are essentially fermented extracts of malted sorghum seeds with the addition, especially in Nigeria, of a starchy cassava preparation called gari; and a bouza beer made from millet.

From here.

Cassava maybe?
