Taybeh (tai-bey) in Arabic means "delicious." Our Taybeh beer is hand-crafted in small batches in German traditional style using a top fermenting yeast and cold lagering. This process creates a distinctively flavored beer with a clean, crisp taste. Taybeh Golden Beer-brewed with only the finest natural ingredients: malted barley, hops, pure water, and yeast-is the fresh, flavorful alternative to imported beers.

Nov. 2008: 330 ml bottle, courtesy of Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. ’Palestinian’ beer brewed and bottled in Belgium, licence held in Germany (Haus der 131 Biere). ABV is 5.2%. Crystal clear very pale yellow colour, big white head. Sweetish industrial pale lager aroma, grassy and fruity notes. The flavour is moderately fruity and slightly sweet with minimal hops, boring but not undrinkable.

I had this multiple times while visiting Israel and Palestine (2022) and I'm surprised this beer doesn't have a higher rating.

Excellent, light beer. Easily drinkable with light, floral notes.

I'm not much of a wheat beer drinker, but this one was extremely pleasant - definitely would drink this again. I'd be curious to try the imported variety and see how it compares.

Poured from a 333 mil bottle into a Taybeh glass. Nice dense head which settled down leaving a nice lace. Not much smell. Very refreshing taste with an initial hint of citrus and finishing with a slight bitterness, just what I would hope for from this style of beer. Interesting use of top fermenting yeast with lagering, which produces a refreshing dry beer that is more complex than many lagers. This is a beer worth looking for and I would buy it regularly if it were available at my local off licence.

Undated bottle poured into pint glass. It pours a bright, clear golden color with half a finger of soapy, milk-white head and lacing. The myriad bubbles ascending the glass give it a champagne look. There's little on the nose, mostly cracker and grass with a whiff of spice and yeast. The taste is dry and grassy with a solid base of cracker malt. There is a hint of spice and some insignificant hop notes at the finish. This pilsener is crisp and dry, with lively carbonation, and truly sessionable with its 5% ABV. Perhaps the carbonation could be dialed down somewhat. I have to say I'm a little surprised by the low ratings. This is a nicely brewed pilsener with more flavor than I expected. This is a fine beer for yardwork or warm weather lounging.

Is it a Pilsener?
Sort of tastes like a Pilsener.
It's too carbonated and bitter to be a Pilsner which is usually
Smoother and maltier.

I didn't look at the reviews and saw the style. Hmm..

It's an ale, influenced by the German style.

Poured a clear golden color in a Jack's Abby pint glass with a 2 F head.

Very floral, fruit, lemon aroma. quite nice. I can't recall any Pilsener with this aroma.
Very carbonated, light body, easy drinking.

Fruity taste with a crisp dry bitterness.

Disagreement here. I just drained poured a well known Maine brewer's beer which is a "summer Ale". This on the other hand, is quite drinkable.

An excellent light lager.

Golden color, a little hazy presence, with frothy white head and lots of lacing. Smells of grass and a little hops. Tastes, yeasty cracker, herbal, with nice crispness. Finishes dry and clean. A great beer for the region and not a bad German pils.
