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.

I just couldn’t help myself.. A short layover in Jeddah and found this tick while visiting an impressive supermarket near my hotel. Drank from the bottle as the only equipment here is a coffee cup. The aroma is mostly pineapple and then the guava comes out more when I taste it. Pretty sweet but quite a fun soft drink.

Can at my Abha hotel, and it’s the last for now! Big strawberry syrup aroma with green apple and some malt. Not as bad as I feared, but not great.

Drank from the can at my hotel in Abha. Thankfully only one left after this. It's really not great. Old malt and cardboard. The fruited ones so far have been way better.

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.

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.
