Can in Jordan. Pours clear golden with a small white head. Very similar to the 10% Petra. Aroma of malt and alcohol. Taste of sweet malt with some alcohol. Hops are hardly noticable. Not much bitterness. Surprisingly mild, and actually drinkable in my opinion. Slightly better than the 10% version. --- Beer merged from original tick of Petra 8% on 31 Dec 2011 at 21:43 - Score: 4

Can in Jordan. Pours clear golden with a small white head. Aroma of malt and alcohol. Taste of sweet malt with some alcohol. Hops are hardly noticable. Not much bitterness. I didn’t think that this was drinkable, but it was. Better than expected from a 10% ABV light lager.

Can in Jordan. Pours clear golden with a small white head. Aroma of sweet malt. Sweet and malty with some hints of hops/spices and bitterness. A bit watery, but reminds me a bit of German pilsner. Fresher than the Petra beers and the best local beer I found in Jordan. --- Beer merged from original tick of Philadelphia Beer on 01 Jan 2012 at 15:41 - Score: 4
