Bière bue a Malte à la terrasse des.upper barrakka garden. Une lager faite pour désaltérer, il ne faut rien chercher de plus avec celle-ci.
330ml can from Beers of Europe.
Clear light gold, small foamy head, lots of carbonation showing, scattering of retention.
Aroma has that typical mass produced lager malt, a bit like wet cardboard and stewed veg. There is however a nice and grass and lemon note coming from the hops suggesting this isn't going to be a write off.
Taste is semi sweet, cardboard, corn, citrus, modest grassy bitterness in the finish.
Not watery but does have a light syrupy element to the mouthfeel so loses an element of the refreshing quality of a pale lager.
Average.
Weekendopener. Bier uit Malta 🇲🇹 Land #102. Matige Lager. Toch dank voor de tip Jeroen H. 😜
Many Thanks for this yellow can to Jacek Wigier. (wineofdreams@gmail.com). Piwo ma spore nagazowanie jasno zolta barwe, spora mineralnosc ale i wodnistosc, nie czulo sie jak to w egzotycznych lagerach jakiejs slodkiej kukurydzy ale strasznie sporo tu wodnistosci, piana srednia opada szybko.
A decent average European lager, rather enjoyable, but nothing to write home about.
Botella 330ml Color dorada clara con espuma moderada,mediana,retencion media.Una lager industrial normal,corriente sin extras.
Bottle from systembolaget. Standard macro lager but reasonably well ending.
Country tick #105. Golden beer, medium head, aroma is grain, malt, metal, sweet, taste is sweet, bit fizzy, grainy, long grainy dry aftertaste. Not bad
[Puszka 12.11.2020] Barwa jasno złota, klarowne. Piana średnia, średnio i grubo pęcherzykowa, błyskawicznie redukująca się. Aromat i smak słodowe, na finiszu odrobina żywiczności. Goryczka niska, nasycenie średnie.
Taster from Dantomlinson
Frothy off white head on a pale golden still body
Floral aroma.
Medium bodied, sticky & cloying.
Pale malt, sugar & water.
Euro Lager - Crap!
Clear golden appearance. Aroma is malt and hops. Flavour is thin, malt and hops.
[This review appears below under an account accidentally created when I couldn't remember my password] 330ml bottle/500ml can/keg at various locations in Malta. Light lager, factory-brewed for popular tastes, and quite successfully. Nicely balanced, a bit of hop bitterness, no off flavors and available really cheap everywhere in Malta. Consistent throughout the range of bottle, and & keg. As a lowest common denominator, there are many, many worse beers out there, and it is certainly better than a poorly-brewed "craft" beer.

Golden color small white head . Taste grass, malt, grain. Aroma grass malt, metal.
Egyszerű ízvilág. Majdnem hogy borzalom. Vékony átlátszó szín. Semmi hab. Nagyon lehűtötten talán.
Illat semmi, keserűség és nem ütős, nagyon gyenge. Vékony nagy melegben talán hűtve. kőműves őrnek védőital helyett esetleg el megpróbálhatod.
Best maltese beer
Puszka 0,33. Kolor słomkowy, aromat ledwie wyczuwalny. Typowy eurolager, choć mniej paskudny niż wiele z takiego gatunku. Goryczka słaba.
One of the best beers one can find in Malta. Really rich, and really refreshing if served ice cold. Definitely the beer to drink when in Malta.
Bottle of 25cl, in a Pint glass; from the fridge.
A nice, malty and refreshing pils. Light golden in colour, with malty aroma and taste. Maybe a little bit too sweet.
330ml Dose. Klar und golden mit kleiner Schaumkrone. Getreidig. Leichter Körper. Milder-süßlicher Geschmack.
W sumie zwykły lager, ale porządny. Aromat słodowy, leciutki chmiel. Pijalne, średnia goryczka, nieźle się to pije.
I truly love this beer, very similar to Heineken/Budweiser. One of the best I had 🇲🇹🍺 A small tiny island in Europe can offer a great beer, very commercially known in Malta.
Great Beer when its too hot, first pint goes down great, just what the doctor ordered. 2nd pint started to get a bit gasses towards the end.
Stop at 2 and you will come back to it on a regular basis
Aroma: wheat and malts, citrusy, with some grassy hints. Nothing overpowering.
Appearance: Light gold, head is white and thin.
Taste: fresh, slight tartiness, mild breadiness, its mildly bitter in aftertaste, with hints of something sweet.
Overall its an easy beer to drink, and one enjoyed copiously during my Maltese stay. Perfect for drinking in between exploring all that Malta has to offer. For an island nation like Malta, more known for its wines, this beer was surprisingly solid, especially considering its industrial origin.
The commercial brew in Malta. Hope to try some micros at some point in the week. Inoffensive- some pleasant fruitiness in the taste.
33cl bottle. It is a thin pale lager with huge but weak foam. Taste is citric and medium bitterness (for a lager). The whole beer is very simple and not good.
330ml can from beersofeurope.co.uk. Light gold colour with white head. Light biscuit cracker malt, light bready malt, light metallic, light white bready, light grassy, maybe a bit hoppier than usual for the style. Above average for macro pale lagers, would have no problem drinking a bunch of these if I was in Malta.
Can and cask versions on various occasions. Very light yellow colour. Overall it is surprisingly alright. Crisp, clean, very modest in terms of flavour and aroma, therefore perfectly drinkable. A small can of this went well with a bacon and sauerkraut burger, but I struggled with a pint from cask to accompany some seafood. Seemed much better from can to me...
Getreidig- süßlicher Geruch.
Hellgolden, wenig Schaum. Frisch säuerlicher Antrunk. Aromen von Zitrusfrüchten, ganz leicht Grasig. Leicht herbe im Abgang. Im Nachtrunk etwas Honig. Aromatisch keine Bombe, kann man allerdings am Strand gut als Durstlöscher wegziehen das Döschen.
