Bottle. Pours clear light amber with almost no head and no lacing. Aroma is of grain and honey. Taste is medium sweet, grainy, honey with a slightly metallic aftertaste. My bottle was almost uncarbonated.

33cl green glass bottle pours clear gold with thin white head. The aroma is sugary sweet with apples, sugary malts and floral hops. The taste is similar with sweet apple esters and sugar sweet malts. As a modest level of floral hops surfaces about midway so too does some malt graininess. It stays just short of too sweet for me likely due to the slivers of grainy malts.

Fles 33cl in Parijs. Vlak. Grassig, zoetig, licht hoppige smaak. Prima balans. Licht bittere nasmaak. (5-2012).

Green 33cl bottle, best before 2nd July 2009, drank on a cold and wet evening in March 2009. Poured into a Veltins Pilsner stemmed tulip shaped glass. Ever wished you had never bothered buying a beer? Looked OK, lager/pilsner golden yellow, with a white bubbly head. Pale golden yellow to be more correct and with a head that soon turned into a wisp and collar. There is a strange smell cheap supermarket pilsner/lagers have, this had it. Maize is used in the brew (according to the rear label), that will account for the lightness of colour and weakness of aroma and taste I suppose. I think some RB/BA’s would call this a ’lawn-mower’ beer or something simular. I’ve never wanted to go to Beriut and this beer hasn’t changed my mind. This is a bad, bad beer and unless you are ’drinking around the world’ don’t bother trying it.

Very pale yellow colour with a lasting, strong, decent size white head. Smells malts and grains, fresh and like a decent pilsener. Tastes quite watery, some iron, malty. Bit thin bodied, okay carbo. Sub-par pilsener.

Bottle @ home. Clear golden color, average sized white head that’s gone instantly. Smell malts and grains. Taste malts, grains, bitter. Not bad, nice and bitter. Very thin texture though. Low to medium carbonation, low body.

12 oz. bottle, pours piss yellow with a small white head. Aroma of corn, urine and grain. Flavour of corn, piss and stale malts. Nasty piss lager.

bottle - Pours clear yellow and has minimal aroma. It tastes of grainy malt with some light hops flavor similar to euro macro lagers. It’s watery and light bodied and not completely and totally awful, but not good by any means. It’s like a poor man’s Heineken.

bottle pours pale gold with a rocky medium white head, considerable lacing as well. Aroma is soured malts, grainy, crackers and skunky hops. Flavor is thin but not bad at all. Refreshing grassy and hay notes with earthen hops rounding it out.
