Description
The first private brewery in Algeria, TANGO Sarl was created on September 26, 1999.​ Its launch took place on May 15, 2001 with the production of the first "Tango rouge".​

In February 2008, Heineken International NV bought the brewery, with a workforce of 350 employees. Less than 6 months later, the first Heineken bottle is brewed and bottled in Rouiba​

Since then, the brewery has continued to grow, introducing the most modern management processes and equipment at the cutting edge of technology. This allows it to reach an effective annual production capacity of more than 500 000 hectoliters​.

Sample @ 1st edition Brewver Belgian gathering, Mar 07, 2020. Thanks Tim.
Dorée au col blanc.
Pale lager des plus classiques et encore pas vraiment un des meilleurs exemples.
Impression de carton fermenté - malté, infusé à la feuille verte de thé avec un effet de métallique qui perdure.
Rien de naturel, le houblon est en vrac, le grain est à la limite.

Heineken-produced industrial pale lager from Algeria, probably very close to the standard Tango Bière Blonde from the same plant, if not an alias - I will leave this daunting task to the admins... Thanks to tderoeck. Snow white, bubbly, open head with a thin, disparate 'veil' in the middle, clear 'old gold' robe. Aroma of bread crust, burnt rubber, straw, baking powder, plaster. Sweetish, 'dead' onset, medium carbonation, smooth grainy maltiness, slick with minerally side notes, leading to a lightly floral hop bitterish touch - a vague echo of hops in their most artificial and frugal form - but also with a 'chemical', plastic-like bitterishness to it. Poor industrial pale lager - worse even than Heineken's own name sake lager...
