COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Cisk Lager, launched in Malta in 1928, is a golden-coloured, bottom-fermented lager with a distinctive and well-balanced character. Its rich hop aroma and pleasant bitterness, combined with a mild astringency, make it an outstanding thirst-quencher. Its alcohol content is 4.2%. Cisk Lager was awarded top prize in the International Lager Category at the 1995 Australian Beer Awards and was presented with the Pfizer Food Science Trophy for the lager obtaining the highest number of votes in the same competition.

Ungstrup (23960) - Oamaru, NEW ZEALAND - AUG 12, 2003
The aroma is very light malty with faint notes of straws. The color is golden, and it has a fine but disappearing head. It is rather bitter in the start. Do I detect brewing cereal? In the middle it turns into a filling simple malt flavor, to end on an OK dry bitterness.

Can 33 cl. Courtesy of Pinball. Pours a slightly hazy pale yellow with some floating impurities and a white head. Sweet aroma of brewing cereal. Medium body, a little malt and a surprisingly decent hoppiness. 161209

UPDATED: NOV 29, 2004 Sampled draught at The Plough & Anchor, Sliema, Malta.
Golden colour with nearly no head. Very light citrusy aroma. Dryish & clean, but on the thin side. Light citrusy finish with low bitterness and fizzy mouthfeel. A rather empty lager.
