Description
The Company’s long history began in Medan in 1929 with the establishment of NV Nederlandsch-Indische Bierbrouwerijen. The first brewery was located in Surabaya and officially began commercial operations on 21 November 1931. In 1936, the Company relocated its domicile from Medan to Surabaya, Heineken became the major shareholder of the Company and the Company’s name was changed to N.V. Heineken's Nederlandsch-Indische Bierbrouweerijen Maatschappij. In 1951, the the name of the Company changed again, to Heineken's Indonesische Bierbrouwerijen Maatschappij NV.

In 1957 the Indonesian Government appropriated the brewery, and retained control for the next ten years. In 1967 Heineken resumed operations of the brewery, which was later renamed "Multi Bintang Indonesia". In 1972 the brewery in Tangerang, West Java was built. In 2014, Multi Bintang passed another milestone by building a new state-of-the-art plant for non-alcoholic beverages in Sampangagung, East Java.

Bottle from Morrison's, Aldershot. Hazy malty yeasty lager aroma. Pale gold. Slow bubbles. Bubbly white head. Initial burst of sour tinged bitterness before a sudden drop off. Light bodied. Thin. Fizzy carbonation. Abrupt finish. So has some initial character before just dying on me. But at least it's not offensive.

0,5 boks (gave fra Sigmund), delt med skibsrederen før tapping av Holmens Citra: klar gylden med kort skum. Svak aroma av lys malt, snev av citrus og ?? Tynn (om enn et par maltkorn fyldigere enn Anker Bir som vi først hadde), smak av samme, og igjen med en velsignet kort ettersmak.

Can shared with JMD at HNB 04.02.18. Clear golden. Diminishing bright white head. Aroma of sweet pilsner malt with a hint of grass. Similar taste, dominated by sweet pilsner malt. Some hops are lingering on. Artificiality in palate.

Sampled from 0.33 l bottle from 'Bier & Beer', best before July 2018. Clear, golden with a medium large, frothy, slowly diminishing, white head. Sweetish, slightly skunky and a little grassy aroma of grains and some straw. Medium sweet, slightly bitter, moderately grassy and quite skunky taste of grains and straw, followed by a short, moderately bitter, slightly grassy, quite metallic finish. Medium body, slightly effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Barely drinkable.

Beers of the World country 88: Indonesia 🇮🇩

"The beer is light golden in colour with a tiny foam head. It tastes watery with small sweet and malty notes. Overall a disappointment as I’ve heard better things about it, but people do probably enjoy it more when on a beach in Indonesia." - beersoftheworldproject.wordpress.com
