Bottle thanks to Tom. It pours clear gold with a medium white head. The nose is soft, toasty, cracker, cereal, underlying sweetness, grain and bread. The taste is sweet, toasty grain, white bread, sweet grass, watery and paper with a dry finish. Light body and fine carbonation. A bit light and watery. So-so.

Pre Borefts Tasting at ABC Beers, Den Haag. You wait all your life for a Palestinian beer, then 2 come along at once! Hazy amber - brown beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is airy and semi dry. Mellow but tangy malts. Touch of dark chocolate. Tangy dark fruits. Airy semi dry finish. The golden wasn’t great but this stout is serviceable.

Pre Borefts Tasting at ABC Beers, Den Haag. Hazy gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Airy palate, semi dry, mild fine carbonation. Sweetish grainy malts. Tangy dried fruits. Airy finish. It’s not great to be frank, but a doff of the hat for producing a commercially available beer in a country with as many problems that Palestine has.
