Per´s comments: So, finally after investigating countless dead ends I finally found it - Bangladeshi beer! I got a reliable tip that Hunter Malt Beverage was available at the Bashundara City mall, and sure enough there it was: a can was sitting all alone on a counter in a fast food stand. Sadly it was empty, and the cashier sad it was impossible to find it. After some heated discussions and easing my pockets for half a month´s wage for a Bangladeshi worker (which sadly still is nothing in western currency), all of a sudden it was only almost impossible. So away he went. Half a decade later he returned with the goods. The can is a complete Foster´s rip off, and the text where it says "Alc 4%" is covered by a sticker saying "Non Alcoholic Beverage". Probably a spin off from this story
So back at my hotel I poured the beer. It came out very pale yellow with extremely brief head. Oxidized papery aroma. Fairly sweet with light body and a touch of apples. At least it tastes like beer, and not wort, albeit it tastes like really bad industrial beer made from only rice and no hops. Oh well, I´m happy anyway with my find.
