Malt beverage - unfermented so technically not a true beer - flavoured with apple, as one of at least six flavour variants in this brand, established by Alzahra in the Libyan capital in 2009. Thanks to tderoeck! No head, pale golden translucent robe with vaguely greenish tinge. Aroma of apple juice in a sugary, industrial and bland way, hints of honey and powder sugar, perhaps a whiff of oxidation and something distantly sweaty. Sweet, sugary and simple apple juice flavour, very slick, thin and superficial, with a very vague cereally touch in the middle - but otherwise the apple juice dominates completely, until it - quickly - fades away in the 'finish'. I am not the greatest apple lover (I do not even like ciders all that much) so this is not for me, but I guess as a softdrink there is nothing wrong with it; very difficult to impossible to rate in a beery context, though, considering there is no beer flavour in this product whatsoever...

Sampled at Tim's place, huge thanks! Clear pale golden color, no head. Aroma is green apple peel. Flavor is sweet with apple notes and a bit like sweet sugary candy. Actually pretty enjoyable for a country tick.

Sample @ Tim's place, Gent. Clear gold, stray bubbles atop. Prominent artificial apple aroma, cardboardy malt.. gentle sugary apple. Not awful. Not good. Rated kindly.

19/XII/25 - sample from 33cl (?) bottle, shared @ Tim’s Big Country Tick Tasting And More (home), BB: n/a (2025-1392) Thanks to Grzegorz for the trade!
Clear gold blond beer, practically no head. Aroma: that's a lot of boxed apple juice all right, artificial apple candy flavourings, meh. MF: soft carbon, medium body. Taste: sweet and sugary, artificial, candy, sugary, more apple, very sweet. Aftertaste: candy, apple flavourings, sugary, lemonade, bleh.

19 December 2025. Country Tasting @ Tim’s - thanks for hosting, cheers to the whole crew!
A: clear pale golden, thin, off-white head.
A: apple, 'Apfelschorle', grain, honey.
T: sweet apple juice, some pear, touch of grain.
F: apple juice, nothing much more.
P: light body, watery texture, average carbonation.
Rather pointless as a beer.

New Country. number 196, almost 200. Silny aromat zielonego jablka, zapach nalesnikow z jablkami, morelowe slodkie ciasto. bezalkoholowe ale ma jakis smak, nie jak inne egzotyczne podobne do siebie lagery.

Pale yellow colour, small white head. Aroma is sweetish tart apple juice. Flavour is vanilla, apples, some sweetness and mild syrupy tones. More cider than beer...

"The beer smells and looks like apple juice. Very similar to the non-alcoholic beer from UAE mentioned earlier. The taste of the malt beverage is there in the start but the apple dominates the taste over all. Very sweet taste at the end. Has nothing to do with beer or non-alcoholic beer really but a decent apple juice though 😛" - beersoftheworldproject.wordpress.com
