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.

620ml bottle from Morrisons, Darlington. Pale golden colour, bubbly white foam head and grainy grassy aroma. Taste is malt, grainy, corn, sweetish, hay with some papery light bitterness. Light bodied, spritzy carbonation, residual sweetness at the finish. Bland lager, OK cold.

Fles thuis geprobeerd met Roelzie. Het is een goudgeel bier met een wit schuim. De geur is moutig en gist achtig. De smaak is moutig en wat banaan.

Bottle brought back from Indonesia - thanks to Jan!
Pours clear pale golden with a dissipating, frothy, white head. Uninviting aroma of can iron (even if it's a bottle), maize, honey, grain, cardboard, breakfast cereal. It tastes medium maize-like sweet and light grainy bitter, some cardboard. 'Empty', dry, grainy finish, more cardboard & grain. Light body, watery texture, soft carbonation. Plain bad.

Leider nicht direkt aus dem Kühlschrank, daher nicht ganz einfach zu trinken. In der Nase Reis, Malz vielleicht, sehr dünn. Im Trunk sehr wässrig, evtl. Malz, hinten ein Hauch von Bitternoten. Gerade so trinkbar ... zum Essen.

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.
