Mar 23, 2008 Bottle at Hurghada Airport, Egypt. Another dodgy Heineken product... Yellow body, sweet nose. Taste is also sugary and malty. Didn’t know this was a malt liquor at the time but makes sense in hindsight. Punchy and pretty foul.

21/11 0.33 l bottle my mum brought from Egypt, thanks. My first beer from there. It poured golden body with small head. Fine malty aroma with an alcohol punch. Surprisingly, some lemony hops show up here as well. Pretty light flavor, balanced between sweet malt and bitter spices, alcohol or whatever. Thinner in body with low carbonation, finishes quickly. Quite fine for what it is (although as of some hops can be considered as an ESL), simple, pleasant and easily drinkable, but too boring to be a good beer.

Bottle courtesy of heavy (thanks!), shared with him and ogivlado. Didn’t expect much from this one and didn’t get much. Gold body, small white heat. Alcohol, heavy maltiness and some lemon in the nose. The taste is quite light and mouth puckeringly dry, but with noticable alcohol burn, light maltiness. Not as terrible as it might’ve been so that’s a plus. It’s not a great beer but this isn’t the worst malt liquor you can get and hey, my first Egyptian rating.

Bottled(330ml). -courtesy of heavy(thanks!), shared with him and Doggythedog. African malt liquor, yeah... Pale golden coloured, just three streams of carbonation, medium sized white head, corn nose with touch of alcohol. Weak malty, grainy and corn taste with odd salty-sweet alcoholic finish.

Canned at the Cairo airport. The first taste wasn’t bad, but it was all downhill after that. Industrial alcohol and metal aftertaste, disgusting sugar-and-turpentine flavor. Reminds me of whatever the disinfectant they use in inner-city hospitals is. The first beer in my entire life that I have decided not to finish based on taste alone. Abominable.
