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.

Dark brown color with notes of dark chocolate, brown sugar, icing sugar, cherries and apricots in the nose. The mouth lacks complexity and is unblanced, but finishes nice with dark chocolate, dark fruit and molassess notes. Best of Indoneisia FESes.

Bottled at Delirium, Gothenburg. Clear, almost golden, with a small, dense white head. Fruity, lemony and slightly floral nose. The flavor is weak, with fruity, malty and sugary elements. Thin and lightly sticky body. Sweet finish with some floral notes. (060823)

(Bottle 33 cl) 5% ABV in my version. Pilsener golden with a creamy, dissipating head. Sticky, sweetish aroma. Medium body with traces of malt, but mainly dominated by chicken fodder, corn, rice or whatever brewing cereal was used. Cardboard tang. Typical bland, Asian lager. Thanks to Jeppe for bringing me this from Bali - just before the bombs...120306

A light orange beer with a small white head. The aroma is sweet fruity - somewhat exotic. The flavor is also sweet fruity - like some exotic fruit juice - not really a beer to me. No wonder the body is thin.

(Bottle 33 cl) Pale golden with a small and lovely creamy head. Indefinable sweetish aroma. Incredibly light body with sweetish, fruity notes - tropical fruit like pawpaw - and some pear. Lightly artificial sweet finish. Not unpleasant as such, but very, very unusual. Thanks to Jeppe for bringing me this 221005
