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.

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.

Panda thanks to Cloin. Pours deep purple red with a thin pinkish cap. Lots of jammy red fruit, a little green apple, hint of grain. Taste is really sticky sweet pomegranate and red jammy fruits. Lack of sincerity in this!

Panda at home, thanks to Graham Grumbo, 14/09/2025.
Clear Ribena red with a thin faded crimson cap.
Nose is juicy berries, sugars, blackcurrant.
Taste comprises sweet sugary berry syrup, raspberry jelly, sugars.
Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close.
So so ... just to sweet in general in the flavour and lacking any refreshment factor that I crave from a Radler.

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...
