🌍 Tunisia · Euro Pale Lager · One of 45 Euro Pale Lagers in hopIQ

Tunisia's national beer — named after the ancient Celts who once inhabited North Africa. Brewed in Tunis since 1925 and the defining taste of Tunisian leisure: the cold beer on Djerba's beaches, in Sidi Bou Saïd's clifftop cafés and at every table in the medina's licensed restaurants. One of Africa's most iconic lagers.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Celtia

Appearance

Pale straw yellow with excellent clarity and a bright, white head that settles to a thin collar. Fine carbonation delivers consistent bead rise and modest lacing on the glass. The presentation is clean and inviting, reflecting the beer's straightforward character.

Aroma

The nose is delicate and restrained, opening with soft grain and a hint of bready malt sweetness. Light noble hop character emerges—understated and grassy rather than assertive. A subtle clean fermentation profile rounds out the bouquet without any yeast-driven esters.

Taste

Clean and crisp entry with light malt backbone and a touch of breadiness across the mid-palate. Subtle hop bitterness (20 IBU) sits low and integrated, never dominating. The beer remains dry and refreshing throughout, with no rough edges or cloying sweetness.

Finish

Brisk, clean departure with the hop bitterness fading quickly into a dry, slightly grainy aftertaste. The finish is short to medium and leaves no lingering harshness, inviting the next sip.
