Das Blue Label 🏷️ ist für das Red Ale der Brauerei vorgesehen (das rote Label bekam das Bockbier). Dies ist ein relativ unspektakuläres, aber doch gut trinkbares Rotes, das zwar schöne Malznoten 🎂 hat, aber sonst eher flach ist. Kann man trunken, aber es ist nix außergewöhnliches.

Das für mich enttäuschendste Bier 😐 aus Malta. Beim Öffnen der Flasche verströmte es schon einen unangenehm chemischen Maisgeruch 🌽. Geschmacklich war es irgendwo zwischen leichten Strandbier und Diskonter-Lager. Wirklich nicht zu empfehlen.

Getrunken in einer Mittagspause in einem maltesischen Restaurant 🇲🇹 in Wien. Dabei war es wässrig 🌊 wie viele Alkoholfreie, hat aber wenigstens keine unangenehm Beigeschmäcker. So lässt es sich leicht und schnell trinken, überfordert nicht aber sonst bietet es nicht mehr.

Zufällig habe ich in der Josefstadt in Wien ein maltesisches Lokal gefunden, welche in einem Bierkühlschrank diverse maltesische Biere und Limonaden feilbietet. Dieses rote 🔴 Starkbier probierte ich als erstes. Allerdings war es derartig spritig-alkoholisch 🍸👻, dass von anderen Aromen keine Rede mehr war. Es schmeckte einfach nach verdünnten Likör ohne viel Freude zu bringen.

Can at home, thanks to Sharon who grabbed it from the lounge at the airport, 12/01/24. Clear golden with an off white cap that thins to a swirl. Nose is grains, cereals, herb, pale malts. Taste comprises pale malts, cereals, grass, herb, hedgerow, corn husk. Light bodied, spritzy carbonation, semi drying close. Okay for an AF.

Can, cold. Clear gold, white head. Aroma of lemon, sugar. Very sweet with sugary soft drink drowning out the lemon and the scant hints of beer under that. There is a tiny bit of bitterness at the end. Limited refreshment.

Can, 0.33l, courtesy of Jas & Jure, thanks guys. Aroma is grainy, grassy and dusty. Pours clear pale golden color with thin creamy white head and sparkling appearance. Taste starts light sweet grainy and grassy with medicinal note, crisp and dry mouthfeel, while finish is average bitter. Light body, thin texture and fizzy carbonation in palate. Nice try, but no cigar…

50 cl can. A pale golden pour with what appears to be a beige nitro head (is this nitro?) Aroma is just a tad of iron and a hint of cardboard. Taste is actually somewhat better than your average Cisk, but nothing otherworldly. Less bitter than the aforementioned. Bland.

33 cl bottle at Hard Rock Café Malta. A slightly cloudy pale orange pour with a fully lacing, off-white, long-lasting head. Aroma is mild cardboard, sawdust, sweat, bird food, funk. Lucky us it's really mild! Not too dry, much to my surprise. Medium body, sticky mouthfeel. Bitterish finish that bring some funky odors back. A bad one.

50 cl can bought at Cork's Paceville. A crystal-clear pale golden pour with almost no (foamy off-white) head and loads of bubbles. Aroma is mild, just some grass and some iron and some custard. Sweetish, very bitter, medium-bodied. Long-lasting thanks to that absurd estery bitter side. Aftertaste is paper-wrapped bad liquor, cardboard, booze. Terrible. It's stated here as a strong pale lager, but I'm pretty certain this is a malt liquor.
