Pour is a kind of chill haze pale gold with a small fizzy white head. Aroma is some small amount of malt but that's it. Flavor is more neutral malt but a decent hit of butter. Actually a lot of butter. Tastes like a 7% abv lager from India,

11/7/2025. Bottle shared by Robin, cheers! Region #843. India region 11/35. Stewed, fruity, grainy, syrupy, metallic aroma. Slight perfumed boozy notes. Quite sweet. Body is okay, but a small share of this was definitely enough.

A 650 ml bottle located on the shelves at the Total Wine in Cedar Park, TX late last year, being opened on a nice spring afternoon. Normally this style doesn't rate a glass for a tasting but this time I have my Karbach pint shaker ready and waiting. The appearance is gold-yellow, clear and a here-and-disappearing cover of pure white foam. It has your basic beer smell, grain mostly with some hops. Time for a good drink. Corn, malt, a bit of toffee sweetness, paper and dry biscuit. Not getting any complaints from me, I have had many worse in the style than this.

330 ml. bottle with a pull tab from Total Wine - San Antonio. Pours a cloudy dark gold color with a white head and fair retention. Almost no lacing. Sour malt aroma. Thankfully the taste isn't sour. Weird undefined artificial flavor with a warming finish. Light, watery body. Low carbonation. No bitterness. Doesn't really taste like beer. Tick.

650 mL bottle. Unclear, orange color, with a medium, frothy, off-white head. The nose is corn syrup, burnt sugar, damp hay, and rubber. Sweet and sticky, with an acrid bitterness. Fairly heavy, sticky, and a bit hot. This is not undrinkable, although the drain was looking pretty friendly. Rough and unpleasant.

650 ml bottle (Batch 16, Mfg 04/18), all to myself on 10th March 2019. Obtained from a strange Indian/English Supermarket somewhere in Orange County, California. Drank at my daughters place while baby sitting. Slight haze to the golden body, short lasting white wisp for a head. Corn and malty nose, taste also held a corn and malty semi-sweetness, not much going on really (like most Indian Lagers I have tried so far). Front label claims it is Expertly Brewed to International with Finest Quality Malt and Hops, one of us is obviously lying.
