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 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.

Very pale golden. A little metallic but otherwise simple and crisp.

I wasn't expecting much but it wasn't too bad. One glass is enough though. It amazes me that they can make and sell styles like this in Jordan.
