Bottle at the hotel in Riyadh, from a shop around the corner. The mint is actually pretty good. Lemon there behind and really light malt. A lot better than I expected.

What’s a guy to do when he’s in the area and passes by Saudi’s very first and only Brewver venue? Pop in of course! I can confirm that it still exists, and is still well stocked with Saudi NA ticks. You’ll find them in a fridge section as pictured. I should have bought a bigger bag then I could have had a proper depressing evening back in the hotel room!

Bottle from a small supermarket around the corner from my hotel in Riyadh.
Yeah, it looks like a beer. Unfortunately when you sniff it everything goes wrong. Malt and old corn dominate. Oh dear.

Near black, nice thick brown head. Aroma shows up the chemical aspect of the local water upfront which sadly lets it down. Taste gets rid of that with chocolate and toast.
