Casablanca
Brasserie De La Soif

Poured from a brown 355 ml bottle, I like the label design on it. My bottle claims it was brewed and bottled by Societe Des Brasseries Du Maroc, in Casablanca, Morocco. Appearance is a light gold, bit of a haze, some suspended particles upon closer inspection. Decent white foamy head on the pour, nearly two fingers, which recedes to a thin ring. Sweet malt on the nose that is the overwhelmed by a herbal/grassy smell I have never encountered before, curious about what hops they used. That smell is immediately present in the flavour as well right up front, with the malt as a low underlying tone but contributing to a sweet finish as the herbal/grassy character subsides. The mouthfeel is quite full for a lager, yet smooth, there is no bite to this beer. I get the impression that this would be very quenching beer in a scorching climate, but sampled here in Calgary it only strikes me as an average experience to consume. Actually, now that I've finished the glass I am left with the flavour impression that I just drank a curiously hoppy shandy, a ginger ale sweetness lingers on well after the glass is empty.

Found this one at Disney World believe it or not. The label is very cool! This was light and hoppy and I was pleasantly surprised that it was actually better than a lot of Lagers I have tried.
