This is a rarest advertisement which you will never ever see again. It should be kept for posterity as a museum piece. How it was in 1968 , Guinness ad in Malay, with Malay actors.
Someone found this in the library at Ohio University. It is in a program booklet of KGMMB’s (Kesatuan Guru-Guru Melayu Malaysia Barat) AGM 1968, and this advertisement appeared on p.2, side by side with
the message from the then Deputy Prime Minister, Tun Abdul Razak Hussein. How different it was in those days.
What will future of Malaysia hold?

Sweet lychee/fruity kind of aroma.

Sweet smooth entry with hoppy bitter end. The beer is smooth and easy to drink with nice carbonation. With 4.7% ABV the beer doesn’t have much after taste just some light bitter lingering.
What’s the colour?
Dark brown yellow.
Where to drink?
Drank it in Taps Beer Bar @ Jalan Nagasari
My Opinion:
Is an easy entry Pale Ale beer with nice fruity aroma and sweetness. I find this beer very smooth and good for all night consumption with it’s low after taste. This is not a bad American Pale Ale. Recommended for those who want to to try Pale Ale style beer, this will be a good entry level.
Little Creatures is now back in Malaysia. Couples of years back it was selling in our market, today with more demands of new type of beer Little Creature is now back in the market. This Ozzy beer is now available in The Hill@Damansara Heights and Brussels Beer Cafe. Slowly will bite into more selected bars. If you like simple aromatic hoppy beer, Little Creatures is a good entry level for more exciting hoppy beers. Have fun, Cheers!
