I don't really tick much nowadays. Still enjoy a decent beer just as much, along with the community that Ratebeer originally built.

I've not moved to that popular app and never will - It's become a monopoly which is having too much influence on today's craft beer scene.

Bottle from the brewery back at my hotel in Amman. Fairly hazy golden with a small head. Floral hops, grapefruit and light candy in the aroma. When you taste it there’s a big bitterness. Medium bodied and decent for where it’s made, though a little unbalanced.

It’s not a craft beer place, and I didn’t visit it as such. I’m surprised it’s on here. It’s know as the place that was the first Internet cafe in the Middle East, and played a role at the time in the development of Amman’s more liberal social scene. Now it’s a nice cafe, book shop and art shop. Go for what it is, not for beer 🙂

Bottle from the brewery, enjoyed back in the “quiet” of my place in Amman. It’s a real dark brown with a tan head. Smells like overripe dark fruits, dried fruit, malt. Some light candy style sweetness and sugar. Decent body and soft carb. Not bad.

I expected to think the worst of this. It’s overly strong, seemingly made for folks who want alcohol before anything else. The funny thing is, it actually wasn’t too bad

It’s simple, but not bad at all. Dry, tart and a little sweet.
