Description
This conglomerate magnate comes from India, and it runs its operations from the head office in the Karnataka State in UB City.

It started out as a British brewery subsidiary only to become a market leader on the global scene. It also contributes significantly to the Indian economy with its different undertakings with million and billion worth turnovers.

In June 2021, Heineken N.V. increased their stake in the company to 61.5%, taking control of United Breweries.

Draft: Poured a pale yellow color lager with a large white foamy head with OK retention and some lacing. Aroma of non-descript malt with some sweet adjunct notes. Taste is also a mix of adjunct notes with some syrupy malt. Body is light with good carbonation. Pale lager with no real interesting features.

12/3/2026. Bottle shared by Gus, cheers. Bought in London. 5.0% abv. Pours fine. Grainy. Light bittersweet taste. A little watery. Okay.

Pour is a crystal clear gold with a large white head. Aroma is a little stale malt with some metal. Flavor is pretty much the same. Some tired old malt with a little mineral aftertaste. Can't say this is horrible but nothing really stands out to make this a good beer.

I drank this beer in India during my trip in 2006, in this time it was almost impossible to find a craft beer in this country. It is a drinkable beer, ok with spicy Indian foods, a bit metalic, corn, few hop, so-so

Can, 5%. Gold, white head that's soon gone. Shy aroma of light bread, apples. Sweet and fairly clean if bland with a little earthy bitterness at the end. A little heartier than Kingfisher Premium and OKish.

660ml bottle, shared with my Son-in-Law Matt on 30th July 2025. Poured into two La Chouffe glasses at his place in Laguna Hills. Clean and clear golden pour, swiftly dying white head. Sadly this wasn't the 'Special Reserve' we'd hoped for, it's pretty bland and uninteresting to be honest. Was hoping for a King Cobra sort of hit, but this is just a standard Lager with a little more alcohol within.
