Bottled, 0.33l. Clear pale golden color with medium frothy white head. Aroma of herbs, grass, corn malt and cardboard. Tastes of fresh grainy malt, then followed more grassy. Mouthfeel is crisp and dry, while aftertaste is light hoppy. Light body, thin texture and average carbonation in palate. Nothing special, but I kinda’ like it, at least bottle is neat...

Flaske. Pours straw yellow, with a nice and creamy finger thick head. Not very much aroma here, but some light spicy hops comes through. Flavour is citrusy bitter, with lemony hops and a light zesty twist. Nice as a thirst quencher with Indian food, but at most mediocre in all other manners.

(bottle) pale gold pour with white light/medium head. Aroma/taste is very plain malt, corn and cardboard taste typical of massed produced lagers. As others have said almost seems acceptable with a hot curry and that’s how I had mine, but in the cold light of day this is a decidedly below average brew.

Bottle. Pours fizzy, clear pale golden with quickly vanishing white head. Clear aroma of hops with a cardboard note in the long nose. Sourish onset, replaced by bitter taste of hop. Very richly carbonated. Dry aftertaste. Perhaps a good refresher on an Indian summer’s day, but not any remarkably good beer.

(Bottle at some Indian restaurant in Camden, London, 21 Nov 2012) Pale golden colour with brief, white head. Malty nose with notes of grain, cereal and white bread. Malty taste with white bread, cereal, grain, vegetables and a faint hint of hops in the finish. Medium body, with a certain malt sweetness. Quite bland and boring.

bright golden colour, OK white head; lager-like aroma; taste of artificial (maybe metallic?) bitterness, with some sweet aftertaste, low carbonation; nothing special; one of the worst value for money rate; strongly not recommended for this price (almost 1.5EUR/0.33l in a supermarket!!!)

Tap at the Rajdoot, Burpham - 27/12/12 fuck your Epics and Abyss’s ... parallel tasting with Kingfisher !!! Clear pale golden, carbonation evident, creamy white head that retains well. Nose is pale malt and grain, a suggestion of fruit?! Taste follows, pretty limited. Medium bodied with spritzy carbonation. Dull, bland, watery ... Kingfisher shaded it by 0.1 !
