Can
Copper color; initially it has a reasonably nice head. The aroma surprisingly features some nice malt. It has a medium body strength, just slightly oily; sweetish malt flavor; when cold, it seems to be drinkable, but as soon as it gets warmer, the alcohol presence becomes unbereable. Cheater.

500 ml can. From Jordan. Thanks Arto!
Dark golden colour with small white head. Sweet malty aroma with soda like sweetness and some alcohol. Lots of alcohol in flavour. Some malt and soda like sweetness too. No good.

Can. Thanks David K for bringing me this from Jordan. Clear golden-colored beer with a small white head. Not much in the aroma but it has some cereal grains and surprisingly no alcohol at all. Flavor is sweetish with some slightly husky graininess and a rather strong alcohol presence that attacks your palate on the first sip, but later gets milder. Medium-bodied, alcohol makes it feels a bit heavier. This one doesn’t have too much of either aroma of flavor, but it is very clean and really not too offensive.

Had this one in Jordan on holiday, poured from a can. Just like the 8% Petra quickly poured it through the drain. Same as 8%, but even worse. Golden colored. Very alcoholic, big time. Malty sweetness, bad cheap ingredients. Lot’s of carbonation. Smells like an alcoholic bum who you can smell from a block away. Aaargh.

500 ml can. Pale golden crystal clear. Small white fine-laced head. Papery floral hops. Slightly sweet. Smooth texture. Rather dull, but could have been a lot worse.

500 ml can in Amman, Jordan. Pours a clear gold color with a white head. Some fruit in the aroma. Palate is bland, very alcoholic taste little hop or malt at all.

Can in Jordan. Pours clear golden with a small white head. Aroma of malt and alcohol. Taste of sweet malt with some alcohol. Hops are hardly noticable. Not much bitterness. I didn’t think that this was drinkable, but it was. Better than expected from a 10% ABV light lager.

Mostly like the 8% variant of this beer. Strong, alcoholic, low-bodied, artificial, but still drinkable and not as bad as other ratings suggest.

500ml can. Malt and herbal aromas. Pours pale gold, poor head and lacework. Light body, average carbonation. Taste is sweet. Not bad for a country with not beer (or any alcoholic beverage) tradition like Jordan, but nothing remarkable for this one.

500ml can in Amman labeled "10% ALC Cold Filtered Premium Lager Beer" . Clear gold color with fading white head. Slight fruity aroma. Medium-bodied, very alcoholic character Little hop or malt flavor.
