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.

Medium shiny coarseish offwhite head doesnt last. Yellow body with carbonation. Harmonic apple, butter, and toffee aroma with alcoholic malty notes. Dry-sweetish flour and apple taste with papery grainy notes. Clean, light, open palate. Soft, mild mouthfeel. Papery grassy aftertaste, lacking in dryness. Pretty tame, because of the lacking bitterness, but still decent. (0.33l bottle, Systembolaget, Charlottenberg.)

A very boring beer. Clear yellow color, well clear of all flavor and clearly average. There is no good reason to drink this beer.

33 cl bottle from Systembolaget, purchased by deft, thanks! BB Jul 2009. Clear pale golden color, white small head. Sweet sugary scent, some tin can and smoke, also solvents. Dry sugary and harsh bitter taste at first, low sugary aftertaste. Moussy mouthfeel, low bitterness. Not well made and not for me.

330 ml can, a gift from my Indonesian-born sister-in-law. ABV is 5%. Pale yellow colour, decent head. Typical "Industrial" and sweetish pale lager aroma, notes of maize and/or other adjuncts.The flavour is far too sweet for a "pilsener", but there is at least a certain maltiness and not too many off-flavours. Very moderate hops in the finish, slightly metallic.

Gold-coloured with small, snowwhite head, fast gone. Grainy/malty nose, classical but not uninviting. Some extra additions (corn, toasted), less welcome. Quite dry, very grainy taste; slight cigarette ash flavour on the palate, with a very dry finish. Watery MF, if dry. Better than expected, but all the same, international humbug lager, Heineken worthy.
