Beers of the World country 121: Egypt 🇪🇬

"As I drank the beer from the can I can’t really tell you anything about the colour. It tasted very crisp and malty with a nice bitterness to it. Ending up on a short sweet note with very little aftertaste. To me it was a nice lager, but that might also be the result of mainly drinking Bintang when I’ve had beers lately." - beersoftheworldproject.wordpress.com

persönliches Bierland Nr. 98 Erstmals herzlichen Dank an meine ehemalige Kollegin Cristina, die mir dieses Bier aus einem Urlaub vom Roten Meer mitgebracht hat -so etwas freut mich immer ungemein. Das Bier ist ein klassisches Strandbier, das man am besten stark gekühlt trinkt. Es erinnert an das Heineken, zu dessen Konzern es auch gehört. Es dominiert der leichte hopfige Geschmack, der es weniger vollmundig, aber dafür sehr erfrischend macht. Ein Bier, das Lust auf Urlaub und sonniges Wetter macht.

Bottle @ Slovak tasting 09/2019. F: no real. C: gold, clear. A: malty, caramel, cardboard, alcohol. T: medium malty base, burning alcohol, caramel, bready, almost no carbonation, not good but not disaster as hell.

Bottle @ Slovak tasting 09/2019. F: almost no real. C: yellowish, hazy. A: malty, bit skunky and solvent but later banana, spicy, wheat. T: malty, wheat, spicy, banana, cardboard, soft carbonation, weird aroma at the begging yet latter ok, not such disaster as I expected here.

Apples, honey and flour. Taste is dusty with all the above. Not a great hit

Bottle at a tasting. Surprisingly clean. Alcohol is assertively present, but far less than the 15% could deliver. Sweetish, full bodied, rather low in carbonation. But mostly clean as I say. Huh. Okay.

Bottle kindly shared by Rubin77, many thanks. Tasting Rusovce. Golden color with small whiute head. Aroma of malt, molasses. Taste, malty base, dates, alcohol, too much alcohol.
