Description
Taybeh Brewing Company is a family owned business established in 1994 following the Oslo Peace Agreement (1993) when David Khoury and Nadim Khoury were inspired by their late father, Canaan David Khoury (1926-2002) to return to their home village of Taybeh after spending more than twenty years in the United States and establish the first micro brewery in the Middle East.
The goal was to invest and boost the local economy by introducing new styles of natural hand crafted micro-brewed beers according to the German Purity Law with no preservatives or additives making an excellent Palestinian beer while creating a nationalistic feeling. Nadim Khoury turned his hobby of making homemade beer during college days into a career becoming the master brewer. He is very proud to pass this passion and experience to his daughter, Madees Khoury, the only female brewer in Palestine.

The beer starts smooth and malty. The mainpart is smooth, slightly sweet and has hints of bitterness. But for me a bit too sweet. The aftertaste is medium, smooth and sweetish-malty.
Not bad, but for me too sweetish. 10/12/8/9

Dark reddish brown colour, diminishing beige head. Malty aroma, caramel, light coffee. Sweet malty flavour, sweet caramel. Bit thin body. Sweet caramel finish. Not bad, bit on the sweet side for me, but not bad at all.

(Bottle, 0.33 l - brewed 30/10/1013 - BB 30/10/2014, courtesy of rosenbergh, 20140315) The beer poured dark brown and clear. Its head was small and white. Aroma had malts, caramel and grass. Palate was medium bodied with quite high carbonation. Flavours were malts, grass, caramel and bitterness. Aftertaste was malty, mildly tart and bitter. A bit weird but not completely bad.

Bottle received in trade from RobertDale, thanks for the opportunity. Pours a slightly hazy medium golden color with a huge fluffy white head that persists forever. The aroma is huge on the skunk as soon as I pop the cap. Clove and light sugary malts round it out once that dies down a little. The flavor is light sugary malt with hints of clove and and a bit of earth. Medium to light body with a moderate level of carbonation and a sweet slick mouthfeel. I drank most of it, but I don’t think I would again unless I were at the source. I thought this was only ok.

Pours a clear slightly darker golden color. Topped with a small and quickly disappearing white head. There’s not much to the nose, just a slight hoppy aroma, barely noticeable. Likewise the taste. Some initial sweetness, followed by a very watery body and almost no distint finish. Easy to drink, but not much to the taste.

33 cl. bottle sampled @ RBBWG 2014. Obtained in a trade with tlahav. Pours a dark red pomegranate-hued dark brown with no head. Smell tart, light vinegar, red berries, this doesn’t feel entirely right, not per se off-puting, it isn’t too good either. Tastes of bitter leaves, hebs, smoke, red berry sourness, tangy. Touch less carb. I doubt that they intended it to be this way, nice effort I suppose from Palestine but infected sadly never-the-less which appears to be how it always is going by the other ratings.
