Casablanca (Casa Beer)

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

Bottle from Mazza restaurant. Pours a clear light golden color with a small white head. A light malt and grassy aroma. The taste was quite nice; smooth and clean, light malts and grasses. Very crisp and clean flavor. A nice Pale Lager. Smooth and enjoyable, but not my favorite style.

Picked up at Maruhn Getränke in Darmstadt. Pours a pale golden yellow color. Aromas of light hops and malt. Flavor is malt and mild hops, more malty at the start and finishes with dry hop.

Bottle... Clear light yellow lager with a small, fizzy, white head. Decent retention. Smells a bit like an abused, stale Corona... skunk, lemon peel and hominy, yep, hominy. Light to medium-bodied with fizzy carbonation. Inoffensive, neutral flavor. Crisp, mostly clean finish with just a touch of honey at the very end. Kudos to headbanger for forcing this bottle of beer on me. Hey, how will I appreciate good beer if I don’t drink a bad beer every now and then?

12 oz. bottle from World Market in Charlottesville. Gold-tinged yellow with a thin white head. Lots of visible carbonation. The aroma is pretty horrific... straight skunk and corn. Some grassiness in there if you look hard enough. Taste is grain, corn, grass and sweat. This scrapes the bottom of the still-drinkable barrel.

Bottle brown, 330 ml
Appearance: Pours pale golden, practically yellow, very bright body with sediments floating in the body texture, carbonation of the body is moderate, saturation too, head is initially medium but very quickly decreasing to small, very faint lacing, head is white in colour and foamy in texture, after a minute what leaves is the small crown on the body surface.
Aroma: Very milky, slightly sour and harsh like from brewing cereal, gentle notes of corn, rye and barley grains, slightly too dull, not clean, dusty.
Flavour: Quite similat to a ’Castle Lager’ in the terms of malty background as the grainy components create sour taste but in terms of hoppyness it is much worse. There is no hoppyness on top only some faint dull aftertaste that is the effect of hops and apart from it sour, salty cereal and slightly corny mixed with barley accents aftertaste. Finish duration is quite long in its dullness and sourness. Visible difference in between English brewing culture (Castle Lager - SAB) and French brewing culture (Casablanca Beer - Tanager Morocco).
Palate: Body is light, texture is wattery, carbonation on palate is moderate to light, finish feel is chalky and astringent from sourness and accidity.

At a stand at EPCOT (love the World pavilion). Typical pale lager in ts appearance (yellow/straw, white head), aroma (some malts, corn, other adjuncts). The flavor is also mainly from the malt and the adjuncts, but it had a spolied and skunky quality that made it hard to drink. It also had this metallic and industrial tinge to it. Not good.

[Thanks a lot, Kasper Adenila.] Nice label and cap, but then it all stops. Clear yellow look with fast off-white head. Corn, maize, metal and poison. A typical overseas product.

Clear golden with a white head. Sweet grainy aroma along with some dusty metallic scent. Flavor is sweeter than i like it and with the finish being metallic i cant give this one alot.
