Almaza Beer is a Lebanese brew which appears to be under the Heineken umbrella of international beers. I tried it at Carousel Restaurant in Hollywood, an Armenian/Lebanese restaurant. The location pictured on their website is in Glendale, and is considerably more ornate than the one in the Hollywood strip mall.
The beer has a golden color with a white head that disappears quickly. There is a slight floral nose, not too hoppy, and rather nondescript. The taste is decent, rather grainy with a sweet edge to it. I enjoyed the taste more than I thought I would, but I would not have this when all I wanted was a beer.
Beers like this have trouble making it on their own, but they pair wonderfully with food. It tasted great with the hummus, lentils, mouhamara (pomegranate/walnut dip) and a flatbread dish.
