First beer I had after moving to Morocco. Watery. Distinct zinc/copper taste. Absolutely last-ditch beer; on a few occasions have gotten bottles tasting like industrial solvent. I wouldn’t use this beer to put out a fire if I had a choice.

Nothing fantastic, but by no means a bad beer, has good carbonation and taste.

Bottle and can in Morocco. Bottled beer produced in Fes, Marrakech and Casablanca, canned in Casablanca. Golden color, medium head. Aroma was malty. Flavor was malty, with some hoppy tones at the end. Drinkable, but not interesting.

Can in Marrakesh, Morocco (330ml):
A skunky smelling beer that gives off a faint hop aroma but mainly comprises of vegetable adjuncts & tonnes of grain which also seems rather skunky.
Pale straw yellow colour that just about manages to form a thin head on top of the beer which unsurprisingly goes pretty fast leaving a thin lacing which is bone white.
The bulk of the taste seeming to be a mix of vegetable adjuncts, grain and sweet metallic taste, possibly from the can. Again like the smell there is the faintest if faint hopped taste.
It’s quite light although at least it’s not watery. It is smooth & slightly refreshing.

A sorry excuse for a pale lager & on-par with some of the major American mass-produced garbage that makes it to the UK. Not a lot going on in any area if truth be told & to think that I paid Ł4 for a 330ml can of this stuff is laughable.

Another light pils-like lager. Golden in color with a bit of white head.

laiti (986) - Tampere, FINLAND - JUL 27, 2011
33 cl bottle @ Hotel room, Agadir. Rated on 21.12.2009
Aroma has some corn-like malt and butter. Flavour has corn-like, sweetish malt , but also hints of cardboard. Better than Flag Pils but still not enjoyable.

turbothy (935) - Bonn, GERMANY - JUL 6, 2011
Pours a very pale light yellow. Aroma of wet cardboard. If drunk cold, flavour and palate is inoffensive at best. If warm ... don’t go near this.

Koelschtrinker (6534) - Köln (Cologne), North Rhine-Westphalia, GERMANY - MAY 25, 2011
Schwacher muffiger Antrunk, etwas getreidig, wenig süß. Dann wieder muffiger, simpel, lustlos. Nichtmal am Strand erfrischend. 8/5/5/6/4/5

FunkyBrewster (1304) - Chicago, Illinois, USA - MAY 14, 2011
Bottle at an awesome restaurant in Fes Morocco. Pours a pale yellow color with a small white frothy head. Aroma is a softly grainy with some touches of earthy hops, mostly sweet and lightly bready. Flavor was mostly grainy and a touch of honey sweetness that is balanced by a crisp lightly hopped drier finish. Light body and a somewhat sharp carbonation. Not bad for the style, excellent with the couscous and vegetables!
