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.

On sale, 200 yen, bottle from Yamaya, your typical macro-lager gold appearance. Slightly skunky grolsch type aroma. Medium bodied with a rough carbonation. The taste is not so bad, a bit of cardboard, hop bitterness, some corn sweetness from the grains. Not so bad, better than I expected.

Pours a typical clear golden color, topped with an average white foamy head that immediately settles down. The aroma is easily picked up, some malts and lots of grain. The taste is sweet at first, slightly bland - lacks some bubbles. Balanced body with a tiny amount of bitterness in the finish. Drinkable, but that’s it.

330 ml can. Pours very pale and light golden. Initially with a large foamy (somewhat artificial-looking) head that is gone in a few seconds. Aroma is sweet and I can detect a bit of honey, bit of candy too. Maybe that is coming from sucrose? Not too unpleasant although not really good aroma in any way. Taste is pretty bad, just a bit of malts and some synthetic taste at the end. No aftertaste to speak about - only a bit of plastic. I guess this beer is in its place in Indonesia, served chilled next to a local dish, in a sweltering heat. Everywhere else - better to be avoided.

33cl glass-bottle. Very pale in the glass, grainy nose. The beer starts grainy-sweet, slightly bitter. The bitter notes become more intense, but also a sweet note appears that taste like added sugars which ruins the whole taste. The aftertaste is sweet and hoppy. Slightly grainy.
--> without the sugar ok, so awful! --> 4/10/3/3

Bottle brought back by friend from their holiday. Beer pours a yellow gold colour with a white head. Aroma of corn and grass with very slight spice. Thin body, average carbonation for type of beer. Drinkable, but little more than that.
