The original Cisk Lager Beer is a golden-coloured, bottom-fermented lager with a distinctive and well-balanced character. Its rich hop aroma and pleasant bitterness has made it the natural choice and thirst quencher for beer drinkers who want to savour the original brew which has remained faithful to its recipe of 1929.
Recipient of a number of international awards since its launch in 1929, Cisk Lager Beer is popular any time of the year and consumed across the Maltese Islands, holding a strong presence at Malta’s traditional social band clubs, known as ”kazini”. On a hot summer day, it is best enjoyed chilled by the sea with friends. Just add a barbecue banquet or a selection of fresh shellfish and Cisk will be the perfect companion.

When you look at it in the glass it is ubiquitous pale yellow lager in appearance. Perhaps I detect a mild light clean metallic olfactory, in a good way. On the tongue, it has a haylike easygoing crisp sharp veggies infringement. Light honey hints, not heavy. It possesses an almost fruitlike quality. Nice carbonation. Not bad for a pale lager. Finish has a meek brittle linger. Good session brew. S5L2T5F3O13

On tap on Malta. I didn’t like the island, but their beer was OK. Very shiny golden yellow colour, white head. Aroma of hops, malts, grass. Flavour is crisp, soft fruity and hoppy, with a citrus twist. A bit watery but very refreshing. Nice lager.

Extra pale yellow with a tiny white head. Boring grain aroma. Thin and sweet flavour. Serving water is one way of getting no off-flavours.

(bottle) Clear yellow colour with a foamy white medium but diminishing head. Light sweet malty aroma with wet straw and a tinge of white pepper. Crisp and dry mouthfeel, light bodied, malty and corny taste with a slightly bitter finish. I can imagine how refreshing and thirst quenching this one might be in a hot Maltese summer. Better than the average Bud or Warsteiner.
