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​.

Canned (thanks omhper). Yellow colour, small white head. Aroma of weak malts and hops. Flavour is salty and quite hoppyish bitter. Some sweetness is there too to try to balance the beer up, but still it feels a bit unbalanced.

Can (BB 06/2006). Golden color, small white head. Woody, malty aroma. Corn flavor, woody basic malty lager. Although can is a bit old, it doesn’t feel to have effect in taste. Courtesy of omhper.

Bottled in 2006. Pale yellow, relatively firm head. Heavy on metal and vegetables. Sweet with unclean adjunct flavour. No bitterness. You can´t go much more wrong than this in Algeria, as the local brands are at least decent
