Casablanca (Casa Beer)

Brewed by Société des Brasseries du Maroc (Heineken)
Style: Pale Lager
Casablanca, Morocco

Pours with a medium brown hue, with absolutely no head whatsoever. Aroma is of skunk, lots of butter, and a lot of barnyard funk! Flavor is of cornbread - very starchy and yeasty. Light mouth feel with lively carbonation! Not a good beer.

Pours with a small white head that goes quickly and a darkish yellow body. Aroma of skunk, butter and corn. Taste is butter and cornbread. Fizzy and dry mouthfeel, not an enjoyable beer at all!

Can: Poured a golden yellow color with a creamy white head. Aroma is sweet fresh corn. Taste is sweet with malt and water undertone. Very refreshing!

Pours clear gold with thin white head. The aroma with classic pale lager notes of floral and spice hops mixing with sweet sugary malts and some creamed corn. The taste begins less sweet than the aroma was hinting toward. I get a decent hit of spicy and then some floral hops that actually build toward a moderate level of bitterness to midway and stay that strength all the way into the finish. Behind the hops is a persistent under current of malty sweetness and then some corn building a bit into the finish. Nothing wrong with this beer. It just isn’t a style of interest.

Bottle from Mazza restaurant. Pours a clear light golden color with a small white head. A light malt and grassy aroma. The taste was quite nice; smooth and clean, light malts and grasses. Very crisp and clean flavor. A nice Pale Lager. Smooth and enjoyable, but not my favorite style.

Picked up at Maruhn Getränke in Darmstadt. Pours a pale golden yellow color. Aromas of light hops and malt. Flavor is malt and mild hops, more malty at the start and finishes with dry hop.

Bottle... Clear light yellow lager with a small, fizzy, white head. Decent retention. Smells a bit like an abused, stale Corona... skunk, lemon peel and hominy, yep, hominy. Light to medium-bodied with fizzy carbonation. Inoffensive, neutral flavor. Crisp, mostly clean finish with just a touch of honey at the very end. Kudos to headbanger for forcing this bottle of beer on me. Hey, how will I appreciate good beer if I don’t drink a bad beer every now and then?

12 oz. bottle from World Market in Charlottesville. Gold-tinged yellow with a thin white head. Lots of visible carbonation. The aroma is pretty horrific... straight skunk and corn. Some grassiness in there if you look hard enough. Taste is grain, corn, grass and sweat. This scrapes the bottom of the still-drinkable barrel.
