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...

Many thanks to CH-303 for this 25cl bottle! The beer starts neutral grainy with a neutral bitterness. Not much depth but slightly metallic sweetish. Malty grainy, refreshing but neutral bitter in the aftertaste. Interesting.

Probably best to drink the wine if you visit Algeria. This is an average lager, medium body, some bitterness in the finish, otherwise pretty boring.

(Bottle 33 cl) Courtesy of Bov. Clear, pilsener golden with a somewhat rough, white head. Sweetish aroma of unfermented grain. Thin and watery body with sweetish, bready accents of grain - and nothing else. A very weak whiff of hops and cardboard. 090407

Bottled. A golden beer with a disappearing white head. The aroma is sweet with a cloying malt note combined with some fruity notes. The flavor is sweet malty - the sweetness being very artificial, and the body is no wonder thin.
