As if things weren't tricky enough for newbies here, we now have a soft drink that looks like beer.

I saw some gringos trying to buy a whole load of the new Malta Bohemia in Bombita this morning, thinking it was beer....jajaja

10 'beers' later:

'hey, this Dominican beer aint so strong!'

It's malta, NOT a new drink, in fact been around as a nutritional supplement for 100 years.

Malta Bohemia - didn't see that one before. I liked Malta India, when i ordered it accidently.

Missing out on some alcohol isn't that dangerous, the gringos might survive that.

Would it be accurate to say that these malta beverages are akin or similar to non-alcoholic beers at home? Beer taste with like .3 alcohol content?

No, not even close, it tastes like a real strong root beer....you should try one, I prefer the Malta India, but the Malta Bohemia is pretty good too.

Never tried it that way. Just saw on Wikipedia that it is common. Funny that I have never seen it like that even when I lived full time in the DR.

Malta (soft drink) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Malta is like a beer that has not been fermented. It is similar in color to stout (dark brown) but is very sweet, generally described as tasting like molasses. Unlike beer, ice is often added to malta when consumed. A popular way Latin Americans sometimes drink malta is by mixing it with condensed or evaporated milk.
