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.

From the can in my hotel in Farasan Island. It smells like green apples in not a bad way. A little malt but pretty subdues. I actually kinda like it.

Klasse Pomegranate from Gulf Union Foods was the one that did it!

Straight from the can in my Farasan island hotel. Pomegranate and old berry aroma with berry syrup and light malt. It’s alright. And the 25cl can is a winner.

I’ve kinda been dreading this one but it’s my last night in Jazan and it’s not coming with me. It’s red with no head and what a surprise smells like slightly artificial strawberries and malt. More malt than I would expect. It’s actually not terrible, but I still don’t really like it. It’s too sweet.

Can back at the Jazan hotel. Malty cardboard wort, a little metallic and with disturbingly weird carbonation.

Bottle at my Jazan hotel at lunchtime, and I don’t have to feel guilty. It’s basically just slightly malty pomegranate though. Not too artificial tasting which makes it one of the better ones.

Bottle at my hotel in Jazan and boy have I been looking forward to this one! Firstly, and perhaps most importantly, it a clear turquoise blue. Fun. I don’t know what “ice berries” are specifically, but it does have blackberry and raspberry in a not too offensive way. Certainly some malt there too. Certainly not the worst.

Pineapple from Arrow Beverage Factory (Moussy) was the one that did it!

Bottle at my hotel in Jazan. Certainly felt the a nice cool beverage was well deserved after a day like today but sadly this isn’t really delivering on the “nice” part. Sickly malt and tinned pineapple dominate. This one’s really not my thing, at least as far as these things go.

Bottle at my Abha hotel. There’s a fair bit of malt showing in this one with a pleasant enough lime flavour and some candy. Not bad.
