Clear yellow gold pour with a white head that laces. Grainy malt aroma and flavor. Light bodied. Meh. I’ve had many worse.
The Indian restaurant, Tikka N Talk, in Perth, Scotland where I ordered it had fantastic food. The beer, not so much.

Ljust gyllengul klar vätska med vitt skumlock. Arom av gräs och ljust bröd. Lätt kladdig maltighet och en låg och lätt gräsig beska. Kort i eftersmaken.

I drank this one in an Indian restaurant, nothing special, boring, watery, some cereals, no hop, the Indian food was better, 22.08 16, with Fred at Geneva, les Pâquis.

620 ml bottle from Sainsbury's, London, England. Enjoyed at the Park Plaza Hotel. Pours a crystal clear gold color with a white head and very good retention. Good lacing. Pale lager aroma. Euro pale lager flavor, with light sulfur notes. Not as clean or smooth as most beers. Tastes like a macro Euro lager. Medium body. Medium-light carbonation. Low bitterness. Okay. Looks better than it tastes.

Pale golden colour. Smooth and not bitter , really thin body and really low carbo. The only use I have for this beer is at an Indian buffet and you need a light beer to be able to feast on more delicacies.
