Casablanca (Casa Beer)

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

Smells like an old wine barrel and sour feet, and also tastes like it. Nice dark yellow colour and white head, but that’s about the only positive thing about it, until your nose and tongue get near the stuff. Very effective deterrent if there is no other beer around ! Disgusting really.

Bpttle - Malt/hay aroma - looks pretty good. Strangely sweet malt flavor - very mild. Two good things about this - one is now I can say I had a beer from Morocco and two, they didn’t have a full six pack where I bought this so they gave me a travel bottle of Famous Grouse so not a complete loss.

This pours a characteristic clear golden yellow with a frothy white head that sticks to the glass. Faint aroma of hops. Sweet with a nicely balanced hop bitterness. There is a bit of a sourness in the finish which hurts this beer’s score the most. If it weren’t for that off flavored finish, this would be a decent beer for it’s style. The sourness comes in less as you drink more. This should probably be served quite cold too.

skunky aroma. Once the skunkiness dies off, there is a sweet malt background. Pours a pale piss yellow, almost flat, thin head. Not an offensive flavour - just no flavour. Corn adjuncts. Moroccan corn water.

Another odd-ball import found at the Japan Beer Festival 2004. An unusual yellow-green color. Underaverage at best.

Medium yellow, OK head. Slight hop aroma. Medium body, some grain notes, and a touch of floral bitterness. Not bad.

Pale yellow beer with a thick white head collapsing head. Skunk comes out as soonas bottle is opened, with lots of adjucts. Taste is light malts, with light hopping, and not much character...similar to south americans like Quilmes. Body is nil.

Bottled: Pale yellow coloured. Fluffy white head. Malts, metal and grassy aroma. Light skunky, watery and light sweet flavour. Has a vague bitterness in the end.
