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.

Small white head quickly disappears. Clear yellow body. Grainy wort aroma with bready cardboard notes. Sweetish sugary grainy taste with vague acidity. Mid-bodied. Mild mouthfeel. Dryish mealy grainy aftertaste with empty papery notes. Well. It’s OK. (0.33l bottle shared by wife. Label says "Laziza Regular 0.0%". I assume it’s the same beer.)

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.

Bottles around Beirut and Syria. A plain lager not up to the standards of Europe but drinkable anyway. Certainly preferable to the local stuff in Syria.
