Advantages: Better than it's Moroccan competitors

Disadvantages: Still awful

This beer is in fact "Casablanca" not Casblanca. If you've had a try of Flag Speciale and wonder what else Morocco has to offer beverage wise, then you'll be hunting out Casablanca before you know it. Design wise they've actually got it together but that's where the praise finishes. The beer is a darkish lager with a heavy body and a rough taste, a taste so rough that it makes you question the ingredients. It's also rather on the fizzy side but despite all of this, it's actually a tad better than Flag Speciale. A tip I was given by a foreigner living there was to always buy the bottles because the canned versions are notoriously dodgy with bad batches common.

Whilst not expected of Morocco considering its culture, it is a bit of a shame they haven't got their act together with a decent beer as both the climate and scenery is especially suitable for beer drinking! If despite the warning of mediocrity you opt to try Morocco's best but poor beer you will find it sold at upscale hotels, expensive restaurants, bottle shops which are usually slightly hidden and in the bigger towns like Casablanca and Rabat then in small bars too. I'm a beer drinker but the golden options got me down and I gave in to the calls of reasonable wine eventually.

Summary: Good luck!
