Bottled 650ml (brewed by Rochees Breweries, Alwar)
Sweved ice-gold in Agra, another sample in Jaipur. Darkish yellow, not much head. Sweet honey, mint and vegetables aroma. Light, sweetish palate.Mild grassy hoppyness and some vegetable taste. Does not show much alcohol (which actually might be as low as 5.25%) - more like "light beer".

This lager pours a pale yellow colour with a white, quick dissolving head. Hoppy to the nose with scents of grass, also has scents of breadish dough. First taste was watery with a little hop thrown in. I would hardly call it full bodied like it says on the label. One of the most watery beers I think I have ever had.

Pale yellow lager with a sweet smell, slightly lactic. Sweet taste is lingering, almost perfumy (somebody said basmati!) with oily finish and light hops in mid taste. Another sucky LCBO offering.

Clear golden colour with a small quick-fading white head. Aroma of bread, yeast, malt a bit of hops and some stale vegetables. Light-bodied; Very light in taste showing some malt, metal and vegetables. Aftertaste is light again and only shows metal characteristics. Overall, this one is worth passing up, as there is no real flavour to it, other than offensive ones. I bought this 65 cL bottle at Beers of the World in Rochester, New York.

Very plae, sweet and bland. My bottle also was also bought in the Netherlands, so by all likeliness I too had the UK version.
