330 ml bottle into lager glass, no bottle dating. Pours slightly hazy pale golden yellow color with a 1 finger fairly dense white head with good retention, that reduces to a thin cap that lingers. Light spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Aromas of lemon, cracker, biscuit, light pepper, and herbal/grassy earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance of pale malt and earthy hop notes; with solid strength. Taste of lemon, cracker, biscuit, light pepper, and herbal/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate herbal/spicy bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of cracker, biscuit, light pepper, and herbal/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Nice robustness and balance of pale malt and earthy hop flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Light-moderate dryness from bitterness as well. Very clean on lager flavors with zero yeast notes present. Medium carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth, crisp, fairly grainy, and lightly sticky balanced mouthfeel that is nice. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 5%. Overall this is a good Munich helles lager. All around good robustness and balance of pale malt and earthy hop flavors; and very smooth, crisp, clean, and refreshing to drink. A nicely enjoyable offering.

Clear golden color with a thin head.
Moderate aroma of herbal hops, honey and sweet grains.
Flavor of cereals, malt sweetness and herbal hops. It has a mild bitterness.
Light body with medium carbonation.
A beer that is very easy to drink, session pleasant, but with no highlights.

You gotta taste this blind against other good lagers. It's fine, in tradition of better lagers Kingfisher, Stella, and Japanese lagers, and soon, in NJ, Carton "This Town".

A: Very tame appearance and aroma. It's crystal clear yellow, very short lived thin head, no retention, no lacing.
S: Too light, perhaps not fresh. After all the key to Lager is freshness.

T: Tastes great. It is malty but complex with additional flavors of biscuits, hops, lemon, grass.
M: Medium-bodied, clean on the palate, refreshing. Very nice finish.
O: I found this beer to be a solid example of refreshing summer lagers. A Decent LUNCH beer, or after cutting the grass.

Rec'd in WFM craft pack on 8.8.14.

12oz bottle poured into a pint glass.

A: Bright golden colors crystal clear. Large-bubbled white head settles after a bit. Lacing is negligible.

S: Sweet and grainy on the nose with notes of honey and dough. Slight metallic whiff. Grassy hops.

T: Grain, wet hay, sweet pilsner malt with doughy and honeyed tones. Steely. Hop bring some stiff bitterness, along with flavors that morph from grassy and floral, to oily with a zest of lemon. Grain and pithy lemon on the finish.

M: Light bodied. Full with a round, firm, and smooth feel. Great texture but low carbonation.

O: I won't say that I wasn't expecting much from a Lebanese brewery that I'd never heard of, but I will say that my expectations were exceeded. This is a surprisingly solidly-brewed lager coming from a part of the world where beer is virtually non-existent. Still, I question the decision to import this. It's definitely oxidized (what do you expect), and the American beer market is so competitive that I don't expect it will make much of a splash.
