Bottle. Got this at a local market in Aswan. Very different from the Export version. Light yellow, with a very slight white head. Not much flaver. Skp this and go for the export version.

Had a bottle, and also a can, in the Stella Bar in Cairo, Egypt. A few more in Luxor. Nothing special in any way shape or form, though it avoids the metallic taste that you usually get in Arab North African beer. Gets the job done, but not gracefully.

Almost no head with a pale golden color. Not bad with a meal but could be a little week on its own.

<i> Canned. Thanks MiP. </i> Pale golden colour. Big cottony head. Maize and metal in aroma. Light grainy flavour with low levels of cooked vegetables. Low bitterness and very light mouthfeel.

Bottle, 4.5% at La Bodega, Cairo. Grainy aroma. Clear yellow colour. Small white head. Watery flavour, low bitterness. Quite thin, but clean.
