Kalyani Black Label Premium Lager

Bottled. A golden beer with an off-white head. The aroma is sweet malty combined with a skunky note - that could stem from the clear bottle and light. The flavor is sweet and skunky - the sweetness seemingly artificial, leading to a dry metallic finish.

C;ear golden with tiny white head. Sweet malty aroma with caramel notes. Sweet flavour with cardboard and malty notes. Loads of cardboard in the finish.

65 cL clear bottle. Pours clear and almost golden yellow with a diminished white head. Cornish and light acidic nose. Cardboardish and mild sweetend flavoured. Ends mild sweet and cornish.

(Bottle 65 cl) Courtesy of madsberg. Pours a clear golden with a rough white head. A little aroma hops in the nose and something resembling chicory that for some reason I often detect in cheap ass Lagers. Medium body with sweet malts and not to forget loads of brewing cereal - rice I suppose. A somewhat chemical edge with some cardboard as well. Subdued bitterness. 201008

Bottled. Pale golden, brief head. Roce is very obvious in both aroma and flavour. Medium sweet with rounded mouthfeel and notes of syrup. Low bitterness. Typical tropical style lager.

The cleanest of the Indian lagers I've had, with touches of hay and grain...
