Murree Beer

Brewed by Murree Brewery
Style: Pale Lager
Rawalpindi, Pakistan

Serve in Dimpled mug, English pint, Lager glass, Shaker

500 ML bottle in Pakistan, deep amber color, thin white head, and aroma malty with a bit of a sour smell. Taste is light but dry and not much to the flavor, and uncomplicated. A rather plain disappointing beer, and much like other beer in these types of countries, but still slightly better than most macros.

I stayed at the Avari Hotel when I went to my friend Ali’s wedding in Lahore. In a small windowless room guests could drink at the "bar." I had the Murree Beer, served in a clear, 500ml bottle, cold from the minifridge. It had a hazy golden color with almost no head. There was an odd acetate and yeast nose. The beer just laid on the tongue as if almost flat. Some corny sweetness, spoiled apples and raw dough flavors. It tasted like beginners homebrew. At least they have the decency not to export this.

Pours straw with a thin white head. Smells of sweet malt with some soapy hints. Tastes sweet and dry with some peppery splashes on the finish.

[Tasted locally in Ra-pindi at Salateen restaurent.] Nice to drink beer in a forbidden alcohol country. Tasted great to the wonderful food, which did not gave us quick-step-belly. Others got that exp. at that eve at the big tourist hotel Pearl. Hii-hii!

Blond color. Very common aroma, strong corn. Medium body, pretty high bitterness, dry finish. Ordinary.

A VERY bitter lager. Tasted horrible, to put it bluntly. Had a very dark caramel color, no head. The specimen I had may have been fairly old (couldn’t find a date on the bottle), and I had a very hard time finding any information on it or its brewery. But believe me: you aren’t missing anything!
