This beer was retired but it is back. I don’t know if it is for the worlds better or not but here it is. 500 ml can picked up in Sulaymaniyah, Iraq. Pours a pale yellow with a really fast to runaway head. Aroma is much like an Amerirican Bud with some extra cardboard added for freshness. Taste is greatly to my surprise a far cry better than it smells. Slight sweetness and then the palate ends fast. Not as bad as it started out. It was one of the better ones here in Iraq.

bad bad bad nothing special just alcohol for less money, you should not ever try it..

light malty aroma,golden, golden, clear, white foam, light sweetness, lightly bitter, light body, fizzy, nice fresh malty finish.

Bottle, 3.5%. Weak citric aroma and flavour. Considering ABV, this beer could be a lot worse.

Bottle. Pale golden clear colour with a weak head. Very hoppy aroma also in the flavour, ends up little bitter and watery.

(Bottle 75 cl) Very pale - almost clear - pilsener golden with a small, creamy, white head. Odd aroma of coffee. Thin and watery body completely dominated by cardboard flavour which by now seems to be the typical Efes flavour. No hops but loads of CO2. 130806

Bottle. Pale golden colour with a big white head. Sweet malty aroma and a sweet skunky taste. Light body with a thin light dry finish.

Bottle. Clear pale yellow coloured with a white head. Aroma of fruits and corn. Flavour of fruits and corn.

A light yellow beer with a fast disappearing white head. The aroma is slightly sour and cardboardy - not very nice. The flavor is sweet but cardboardy, not very nice on the tongue, maybe OK, if it is all You can get and You are thirsty.

If this was your first beer in 42 days, you would love it too. I found this gem in the great city of Tall’ Afar, Iraq. It was my oasis in the desert.
