Flag Pils

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

A decently refreshing brew, pours bright golden colour with a full white head. good retention, leaves scattered lacing on the glass, has aromas of dates, olives and bannana. A soft touch of figs in the finish.

330ml bottle. From Shropshire - vintage 1994. No carbonation. Slight cardboard bitterness. Limp malt, with some twiggy vanilla oak. Drinkable, but not that interesting or pleasurable.

Not nearly as bad as Flag Especial. Sold in Morocco in tall-boy cans. My beer of choice here, since non-Moroccan beers are hard to find. A little watery, generally bland. Not exciting, but lacking obvious defects. Alright for going along with food; not so good alone.

SKUNKS ASS! I REPEAT, SKUNKS ASS! Large bright white head. Damn, the whole rooms smells like road kill! Light malts and a bit of roastyness and smoke hidden behind the nasty Saaz hops. Minimal carbonation. Color is a light tan. Flavor is no where near as bad as the aroma. Minimal malts and roastyness. Soft grains and cereal. Still not very good. But this is my FIRST brew from Morocco, and better yet, from Casablanca! Cheers to Bobby H for bringing this one back for me!

Pale golden. Lighter and slightly drier than Flag Speciale. On the thin side.
