Taybeh Golden
Friends of my wife, having seen my house full of beer bottles in every room, surprised me with two bottles of Taybeh when they just returned from the middle east. Really nice and fun to try something that I can't really purchase anywhere in this country, at least about which I'm aware. Pours a bright clear orange with a short white head. Quite nice looking. Nose is a perfumy banana malt with hints of white peaches and honey and perhaps a dash of clove. Mouth is nice and full initially but fades very quickly and what you think is big on the front palate fades to thin in the middle and end. Flavors are light citrus and light malt with a light honey character. Pleasant white peach/honey finish with a hint of bitter hops and white pepper. A nice effort for the only Palestinian beer in existence and quite attractive.
