A malt liquor...from Jordan. Yes, that Jordan. What?
Looking like a classic. A clear pale-medium yellow-gold color, this guy grows a little fizzy head that drops within a minute but leaves thin edging and even manages some light spotting on the glass. Oh, yeah, I used a glass.
This smells like burning, and it doesn't hold back in the flavor, either. While there's some corn husk and steel in the nose, the flavor is less...elegant. It's like someone just mixed together paint thinner, ethanol, gasonline, and nightmares in a cauldron made of torture and human skin. I would throw some flowery poetry in here about the cost of war, orphaned children, tormented memories, etc., but my brain's not doing it right now. It burns everything it comes near and is generally very bad. It reminds me of Bud Platinum, something people willingly choose to purchase and consume in the U.S. as a means by which they might indulge in their darkest masochistic desires and indulge their sadism by offering to friends.
It's watery, pretty thin, and, unsurprisingly, like liquid fire, but at the end gets...kind of thick? It's as confusing a feel as flavor, as some redeeming dryness and body move in and out. There is only confusion. Words fail me. Wine and spirits have a higher alcohol content than this and don't have this horrible overall effect, but it's what some people...want?

Found notes on this from last summer. Why I took notes I'm not so sure. Maybe just to rate a Jordanian beer?
Got this in a large can at the Valentine Inn Hostel. Overpriced, but what do you expect for a tourist area in a Muslim country? The can is a clear Coors rip-off, and promises a "taste of the rosy city."
Poured into a plastic cup for lack of a glass. Clear gold, slightest white head disappeared right away. Nose smells like corn and turpentine.
Taste is bad but slightly manageable. Metal, alcohol, vague graininess, macro malt and more ethanol. It works in a pinch.
Not the worst beer I've ever had. Maybe close though.

Similar styled can to the 8% version. This one is silver. Still boasts the same logos and promises. "Cold filtered" as well. Well, I'll be damned.
Bronze-fading-to-gold coloured body, with almost no head, despite its apparent carbonation. Slight ring around the top, and some lacing persists however.
Slightly burnt, phenolic alcohol characters on the nose. A trace of sweetness, but mostly metallic and slightly solvent-like. Yuk.
Pronounced solvent-like alcohol on the palate, rather harsh and instantly repellent. Finishes with a coagulating yeast imprint on the back of your throat, cloying and constricting. If you inhale while drinking as well, you get the released fumes of too much alcohol being sent into your sinuses. Not a pleasant experience.
This beer shouldn't be. This is like a beer designed to get you ratfaced as swiftly as possible without recourse to taste or drinkability. If your destination is a drunken stupor, want to get there as quickly as possible and don't care what it costs you in dignity or taste, this is your beer. If, on the other hand, you want to appreciate your beer, stay well away.
This beer just underlines what a masterful job is done by brewers who can brew a high-alcohol beer which hides its alcohol - this one is all that is bad about the high-alcohol range.
