Pale yellow color with a thin fizzy white head. Aroma of corn and grain. Flavor of heavy grain and corn.

A golden beer with a thick white head. The aroma is malty and strawy, combined with a slitght metallic note. It is much better from the glass, since it started out skunked when I sniffed the bottle right after opening. The flavor is slightly malty, leading to a boring hoppy dry end - the dryness is due to the lack of alcohol - and is quite boring.

Bottled. Bright golden, brief head. Raisiny wort aroma. Sweet with clean mouthfeel - the heavy wort flavour dominates completely. No bitterness. I’ve got nothing positive to add on this beer.

Clear golden with a skunked hop and corn syrup aroma and flavour. Quick, watery, gutless finish. Pretty lousy, what with the skunk.

(Bottle 28 cl) Pilsener golden with a small, creamy head. Grainy aroma. Sweetish malty with notes of unfermented mash. No bitterness. Quenching all right. 070106

Bottled. Greenish golden colour, small bubbly head. Caramellish malty nose. Sweet caramellish malty flavour with hayish hints. Sweetish aftertaste with hoppy hints.

A "bit" aged bottle :) Golden color, small creamy head. Fruity, a bit of apple juice in the nose. Sweetish fruity, malty flavor, even slightly sugary. Soft palate. When I lived in Lebanon, it was said that recipe came from Amstel.

280 ml green bottle, a gift from chris_o, to add another "beer country" to my list. ABV was 4.1%. Thanks, Chris! Don’t expect me to search all over Lebanon for their "great" beers in the future, though. The whiff of fresh skunkiness when opening the bottle is actually the best thing with this beer. Pale golden colour, fizzy, low head that disappears rapidly, little lacing. In the glass the aroma is sickly, soap and rotting vegetables. The flavour (as far as there is any) is grainy and utterly forgettable. Soapy aftertaste. This beer might save your life if you happen to be stuck in the Lebanon heat, anywhere else it’s just a bad joke.

We continued our struggle at the Dutch Ratebeer meeting. Again a bad, bad pale lager. Skunky, bit sour acid, grainy. Taste is very bad. Definite drain pour.

A hazy orange beer with a disappearing white head. Both the aroma and flavor are dominated by corn, which lends a sourness to the beer, while giving it a thin body.
