Malty and cereal grain. Not much in the way of hop notes. Has a bit of thin citrus. It’s really not that enjoyable.

Golden with a white head. Very faint hop profile with cereal grain and a bit of sweetness. Really bland.

330ml can from local Spar in St. Julians, Malta. Pours gold with a fine mist, white head. Welcoming lemon radler aroma. Good musty lemon presence, expected chilli but that's probably because I misread the label, comes across well as a simple radler.

330ml bottle from the local Spar, St. Julians, Malta. Probably the best beer I tried from Cisk. Clear deep gold appearance, white head. Nice rich malt sweetness, packs a punch, unlike all their other beers. Like it.

330ml can from Spar St Julians, Malta. First beer after landing, drunk on the way back to our apartment after getting supplies. Cheap lagery feel. No hop notes besides a little bitterness. Nothing to add than that.

330ml can while cycling some dusty trails on Gozo, Malta. No comment on appearance. Metallic sweetness, gentle syrupy malt, very light bodied.. ok as a thirstquencher

Draft @ The Cisk Tap, Malta. Pours a pale yellow, white head. Light waft of pale malt on the nose. Bitter metallic flavour profile. Really not enjoyable at all.

330ml can @ The Cisk Tap, Malta. Pours a clear glowing gold, medium white head. Gentle fruity lemon and lime nose. Pleasing radler with good lime and lemon curd notes, moderately sweet, quite refreshing after a bike ride from Dingli Cliffs.

330ml can @ Cisk Tap, Malta. Pours a clear amber, thin white ring atop. Aroma of radlery lime, hints of lemon and some ginger notes. Flavour profile continues in much the same fashion, soft carbonation, nice enough for style.
