Sampled numerous times in Beirut, Lebanon and Damascus, Syria. Out of all the few beers I tried in the Middle East, this was by far the best - though Lebanon definitely has more going on for it in wine than beer.
Pours like a standard lager, with minimal head and a little bit of lacing. Flavor is a bit heartier than I was expecting and the feel is standard for this level of brew. Overall it is worth going for as far as just having something to drink - especially if you are in Lebanon or Syria like I was - but it is not a gem to go hunting for. Typical lager.

Aug 4, 2008 Courtesy of my lebanese friend Joe Hanna- bottle- refreshing and had a lot more body than I was expecting. More hop presence than typical macro lager. Definitely a Heineken feel, but better...Probably because its Lebanese. Normally I wouldn’t rate a beer like this so highly. However, this "Lebanese Gun Powder" hits the spot on a warm sunny night. A fine beer to accompany food. Might I recommend spicy chicken ka-bobs or humus with red pepper pita crisps.

Jul 26, 2008 Bottle. Slightly sour corn and barley malt aroma. Golden yellow color with moderate head that quickly disappears. Lightly sweet barley malt flavor with a light metallic hopsfinish. Pretty much like most other non-Euro/American pale lager.
