Bottle. A sticky sweet flavor. Rather typical for a lager. Not bad to drink, but not all that interesting.

Average Euro lager.Mild bitterness and sweetness.tasted fine with a lamb shawerma wrap.

pours golden with a thin white head. sweet aroma. sweet-ish faux fruit flavour and a weird papery taste. not very hoppy. bland.

Syrian Airlines serve this in place of their own country’s Barada (disgusting) and Al-Chark (wonderful). It is quite boring. They do a non-fermented malt beverage flavoured with apple which is quite pleasant, but, despite the hops and malt, is not really a substitute for beer. Sometimes, however, it is all you can get if in a strongly Muslim area.

perfumey, thin malts, hopless. As unique as it is bland.

Butchered honey and camouflaged hay...Beer devolution...

Just finished cleaning the bathroom and decided to relax with a cool Lebanese pilsener. Remind me again why I think trying to get on the top ’Countries Rated’ list is a good idea? Looks a little dareker than generic, but still Blue-like. The nose is actually OK. I mean, it exists and is non-repulsive, extra points for that. The taste, however, is boring, but non-repulsive. Nothing of interest in the palate. Not a good beer.

Absolutely awful skunky beer in a green bottle. Maybe in Lebanon, but never again here.

Nice light golden color. Slightly skunky aroma - very faint hops. Somewhat sweet and smooth body, very dry.

Quoting Wayne’s World,’Hey look...we’re in Delaware....let’s go to Delaware.’ I feel like saying, Hey look...I’m drinking a beer from Lebanon...yeah, that’s right Lebanon. Slightly bready, yeasty, and dry. Very forgetable pils.
