Bomber from a gas station in Winchester VA which had a better beer selection than some bottle shops I've seen: Sweet corn, grass, new carpet aroma. Clear golden, medium head, little retention. Dry, very mild corn. Glue finish. Light body, harsh mouthfeel. Not horrible as far as malt liquors go, it has some of that foreign lager character that I enjoy. Extra bonus that it's an India tick.

660 ml bomber at beer bar restaurant. A mid golden coloured pour with a lasting G white froth. Aroma is sweet tangy apple, solvent,. Flavour is composed of semi sweet malts, apple, weird waxy crayon thing, dusty malts. Palate is semi sweet, light solvent, lowish carbonation. Pretty bad.

330ml bottle @ Taj Agra, Canberra. Sweet malt nose, crystal clear golden beer with thin film of suds on top. Slight zing. Quickly goes from sparkly fun to liquorice cardboard alcohol blast! Much more interesting than I thought it would be.

Golden beer, poured into a pilsner glass from a pint bottle. Barely any aroma, mainly malt. Taste is too sweet corn, finish is nasty harsh sweet malt. Imagine people drinking 10 million cases of this.

F: big, white, average lasting. C: gold, clear. A: malt, corn, rice, hint of roasted malt, biscuit, rubber, dark caramel, alcohol. T: malt, light fruity tones, biscuit, papery, oxidized, mineral, corn, sweet alcohol, medium to full body, lower carbonation, if this beer is in India as an old brand of good strong beer it´s a big mistake, "alcohol strength not exceeding 8% v/v", 0,5l can from my wife´s trip to India.

16oz can I brought back from India, pours a clear yellow with some cloudy, white head. Nose could be worse, malt, corn, butter, lemon. Flavor is grossly sweet, candy corn, lemon, malt, industrial too. Gross finish.
