full flavour and aroma of Farsons beers today are identical to those
it brewed in the days of the British Empire. Of course, the technology
used has changed, but Farsons prides itself in making beer "as
it used to be", keeping to the same proven recipes and retaining
the same ingredients as those used in days gone by. This helps explain
why many of those who savour Farsons beers describe them as "distinctive",
and having a bit more "character" than many other beers
on sale today. |

| The
brand that most epitomises the Farsons brewery is the award-winning
CISK range of lagers. The renowned Cisk brand traces its origins back
to the early 1900s when it was first produced by the Malta Export
Brewery and subsequently became the top selling Farsons beer locally
and abroad, and Gold Medal winner of the "World Beer Cup"
in 2002. No wonder it has been described as tasting like "sunshine
in a bottle" and "a little gem of a lager". |

| Today
Cisk is available in two distinctive formats - the traditional Cisk
Lager still brewed to the original recipe with 4.2% alcohol, and Cisk
Export Premium Lager with 5% ABV but the same great Cisk taste. |

FARSONS LACTO MILK STOUT (ABV 3.8%) |
|

|
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
Brewed
according to the original 1946 recipe, and praised by beer gurus
like Michael Jackson and Alan Marshall, this beer has quite a reputation.
At EBC450 this is one of the world's darkest beers. It pours very
black with an espresso coloured head. It is creamy, yet not cloyingly
sweet. The mouthful is well rounded and lightly toasted. The finish
is velvety with low bitterness. As Michael Jackson said, "we're
luxuriating in deep waters here".
In
response to requests from the United Kingdom and the United States,
the Farsons brewery has revamped the brand's livery and image, but
has been careful to retain the identical characteristics, ingredients
and brewing process that have given the Farsons Lacto Milk Stout
such an international reputation.
