Bottle from John’s Market in Portland, OR. Light orange tinged gold color with a white head that promptly dissipated. A medium malty aroma with a possible hint of grassy hop. Near medium body with creamy carbonation. Flavor is strong pale palt with a touch of wheat and very little grassy bitter. It is smooth and drinkable - almost having an aged in the wood note. Could use a bit more hop.

Rated April 2008. This is my first India beer rating and it is amazing this 650mL bottle at 7% ABV is coming half way across the planet and only costs $2.99 in Florida. I'm certainly glad they didn't bother with a Hayward's 4000 because that would have been just silly. 5000 is the right call. Pours pale gold with white head. The aroma is faint with sweetness, faint dark fruity esters and mild chemicals. The taste is sugar sweet sugar and cereal followed by floral hops and faint dark fruitiness.

Pour is a bright golden with almost no head at all. Aroma is vegitable and wet paper bag. Flavor is again wet paper bag with no redeaming qualities. I just got this to fill out a mix-a-sixer and did not look at the label. If i would have seen that this was a 7% pale lager from India i probably would have passed.

Bottle at HogTownHarry Fest ’08. Pale gold. Disappearing white head. No aroma. No flavour. Pretty damn awful as it just tastes of lemony metal. But it did come in a 17 year old girl’s knickers. Long story.....

Soapy light head, "fizzy yellow beer"...pale and lifeless...smells like a cheap beer, sour yeast...pale thin and watery, no real flavor, except well the same sour yeastiness...drinkable but wont buy again...one positive note, the 7% is hidden in this "non-flavor" creation...goes well with the aged Barry Gibbs...this is a chuggle---chug it with a struggle

Large bottle. Not offensive, but nothing is here that’s really good or special in any way. At best it is mediocre. Alcohol presence is not that noticeable. Strong malt flavors and that’s just about it.

Bottled. A golden beer with a thin white head. The aroma is sweet with notes of malt and straw, as well as light metallic notes. The flavor is sweet with notes of straw and malt, and the body is thin.

330 ml bottle. Yeah, like I’d save this in the event I ever reach 5000 ratings. Pours at least with a burnished gold lager color, but no head. Smells syrupy and pretty old. Taste is pretty much the same way. What alcohol is there is kind of harsh. Not much else here to recommend it. Does come in a nice thick bottle for mailing to homebrew competitions.

Like with Cornfield, a bottle from Foremost Liquors, Oak Forest. "Mfg: 3/2001’ and smells it: skunky taste pours out. Thin, clingy head stays in. Still a little darker than the usual American piss, but not by much. Smell settles, not surprisingly, to the sherry notes of oxidation. Taste is hard to describe, because there’s no little of it there. Thin and watery, even the bubbles in it don’t perk it up much. I think it’s mostly grain, but they’re so indistinct, they might as well be corn squeezin’s. Are we surprised there’s no hops? And I poured this into a glass which just held some Delerium Tremens, in hopes of taking the edge off. Now the odd thing is, I’m sure this store only started carrying Indian beers a year or two ago. So how they’d get such an old stock of bottles. Well, you can see why I’m not saving this for Rating #2000.
