Description
ALFA JSC was founded in 1992 by shareholders: Vasil NAÇI, Kosta SOTIRI, Kristo NAÇI, Georg ZOIDIS. The head office was initially located in Vrisera, Gjirokastër.

ALFA JSC began its business activity as the official distributor of Amstel and Pepsi Co. In 1997, a historic moment for ALFA JSC marked the beginning of production activity. ALFA JSC built a modern factory in the village of Glina (southern Albania), which made it possible to expand the activity with the production of the Famous Glina Water. The success led ALFA JSC to obtain the status of the Official Bottler for the Albanian territory in 1999.

In 2015, ALFA JSC began the production of Elbar beer, which is also the number 1 beer in Albania.

Fra både flasker og bokser, de fleste delt med Kitty på Albaniaturen mai-18: klar gylden med ok skum. Standard tørsteslukker med lett florale toner og forglemmelig preg.

Il gusto al naso è indirizzato verso l'orzo. L'olfatto viene sollecitato in maniera normale e la costanza olfattiva è sufficiente. Il cappello di schiuma resiste poco. La grandezza delle bollicine è media. Il liquido è trasparente. Poche bollicine grandi costituiscono la forma del perlage. Il colore è giallo dorato brillante. Il corpo è leggero. L'amaro è moderato. L'intensità gustativa è normale e si prolunga in modo appena percepibile. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di facile beva. Il finale è semplice. L'aroma in bocca trova cereali e metallo.

Can, pours a clear piss yellow with a medium white head. Nose is like a typical mass lager, with straw, corn and cereal. Flavour is similar, with sweet corn, cereal malts and straw. Cheap but clean. What else am I going to tick when in Albania?

"The beer is clear golden in colour with a small white head. It tastes crisp and clean and slightly of malt. A sweet end and aftertaste dominates through the finish." - beersoftheworldproject.wordpress.com
