(330 ml bottle, brewed by Shepherd Neame, England). I have probably used this beer to wash down some Indian food in England, had to buy it again in Norway to rate it without food (by special order, it's normally sold only in our Indian restarants). Besides being wet and thus fit to help you survive a hot curry, this beer has nothing "Indian" or any other quality that should put it on a beer geek's wish list. Light golden colour, low head, Heineken-like aroma, uninteresting flavour but at least a hint of bitterness. Typical mediocre lager, not good, but not as bad as I expected.

I tried this awhile back and somehow forgot to rate it. First of all, this is the heaviest 11oz bottle you can find. You could probably throw it against a wall and not break it. Pours a pale gold color with a medium white head. No real lacing to speak of. Minimal aroma of hops, luckily there was no skunk aroma present. Flavor was typical boring Lager stuff. Light hops and light malt is about all you can find. I know there must be some good Indian beers out there.

Not as good - the second time around. ------- A yellow beer with no head. The aroma is very bitter and the flavor is primarily hoppy and then sweet - a very fresh beer, like a czech pilsener - but not quite as good. An above average pilsener

"Slow brewed for the connosieur" LOL, I hadn't had a laugh that good in at least a couple of hours. Pale straw, virtually no head, very fizzy. Mild sweet & sour aroma, with the barest hint of grassy hops. It has an interesting and unique dry empty finish, but I wouldn't say it was a good thing.

This is really not a good beer at all. Weak yellow color with virtually no head or effervescence. No aroma. Insipid, uninspired flavor. I poured most of this one out.

Updated: Mildly skunky with some light grassy hop notes. Quite light in flavor - some very light sweet malt (corn?). Mildly bitter finish. Tinge of skunky flavors around the edge. Straw gold color with small fading head.

Another one of those crap lagers. why would you go out of your way to drink this? if its the only thing they have at an indian restaurant go for it, bland, carbonated, similar to red stripe though not as offensive.
