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.

A golden lager with a thin collapsing white head. In aroma, sweet corn malt with light mineral notes, a tad too sweet. In mouth, a light sweet German malt with light corn adjunct notes, faint hops, OK. Bottle at Lawas 613 Cafe, Yogyakarta, in my hotel.

A clear brown "stout" with a thick brown head. In aroma, mix of coca cola with roasted malt, not offensive, but more like a pop. In mouth, a diabetic nightmare, sweet chocolate malt balls, honey, bad.... Can from a Alfamart, Yogyakarta, 90 cents.

Bottle pours out a pale wheat color topped with a white head. Nose is corn and some grassy. Taste is more of the corn some caramel malt.

This is by far the most ubiquitous beer in Indonesia and probably the country’s best lager. Ok body and bitterness. Lacks skunkiness and very refreshing when super cold. Good for weather near the equator

Shared 11.2 bottle. Pours a clear pale golden color with a minuscule white head. Taste and smells like a standard macro-produced pale lager.

Il gusto al naso ritrova l’orzo. L’intensità olfattiva è normale e la persistenza olfattiva è sufficiente. Il cappello di schiuma ha una discreta resistenza. La grandezza delle bollicine è medio-fine. La consistenza del liquido è limpida. Le bollicine sono fini. La carbonazione è media. Il colore è giallo ambrato. Il corpo è medio. L’amaro è moderato. L’intensità gustativa è normale e la persistenza gustativa è corta. Il gusto è piacevole. Le sensazioni boccali finali sono di facile beva. Il finale è pulito e semplice. In bocca l’aroma riporta sentori di cereali.

Jan. ’16. A 0.33 l bottle from Prosi Exotic supermarket, Vienna. First rating of Indonesia for me. It poured golden body with a tiny head. Grainy and interestingly, a bit peppery aroma. Flavor was sweetish corny, lightly soapy and grainy. Medium bodied for a pale lager. Slightly sweet, grainy and dusty finish. Not that bad, just boring.
