2.4 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 8/20 Bamsen78 (4530) - Sønderborg, DENMARK - JUL 13, 2014
Can. Pours clear pale golden with small, airy white head. Clear aroma of yeast and skunk, with notes of hops and malt. Bitter, hoppy flavour, with heavy estery notes and touches of malt. Hints of citrus. Paperlike and estery aftertaste, with citric hints. Nothing special as a beer but special tonight, anyway. This formerly Maltese, now German brew is the most appropriate beverage with which to celebrate yet another victory than the one in 1565, while on holiday in Malta: the German triumph in World Cup 2014!

500ml black and red can from Scotts Supermarket on Malta. This is a clean and harmless cheap lager. Before 2012 it was made on Malta by Lowenbrau (at possibly 4.9% or 4.2% abv), but by April of that year the plant had closed and been converted into a supermarket. The brand is now made in Munich by Lowenbrau at 4.5% abv for a business on Malta who distribute it to Scotts Supermarket. Its not seen much around Malta. Its clean and drinkable, but unremarkable.
