Rated from historic notes, bottle at an Indian restaurant. Poured a pale gold colour with an average sized white head. Aroma was malty, touch of hop and caramel. Light bitterness and sweetness. Average carbonation. Not much to this really.

Can from Drops Total Spirits, 100 Feet Road, Bangalore. Poured a crystal clear straw colour with a frothy white head. The aroma is malt, yeast, some alcohol. The flavour is moderate sweet with a rich, grainy, mineral alcoholic palate. Light bodied with lively carbonation. I feel sorry for Indians.

Can shared thanks to Jmgreenuk. Pours clear golden with a big white head. Aroma of nasty boozy chemical alcohol, grain and bad sweet malt. Flavour is over moderate sweet and light moderate bitter. Light to medium bodied with moderate carbonation.

Bottle from Drops 100 Feet Road, Bangalore. Poured a crystal clear straw colour with a frothy broken white head and a little broken lace. The aroma is malt, more malt and a little yeast. The flavour is moderate sweet with a smooth, dry, mineral malt, light bitter hop palate. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Not great, but not undrinkable. I won’t be buying a crate though or even a second bottle for that matter!

650ml bottle shared between myself, my wife and son-in-law on 7th May 2015 along with two other Indian lagers at some random Indian restaurant in Laguna Hills, Orange County. Clean golden pour with a good white crown on top. Sweet malts rule the nose and taste with a pleasant alcohol kick (bottle claimed 8% ABV) within the flavours. The best of the three we tried on the night.

Bottle @ home, thanks to MacBoost for sending. Pours a clear yellow appearance with a white head. The aroma is dusty, full of lemon, stale grains, some rice, and a bit of bread. Thin mouth feel. Twangy, bland flavor. Kind of bready and herbal. A little chewy. Not all that good.

Bottle. Pours pale yellow with small foamy off-white head, yeast aroma, medium carbonation, sweetish taste, abrupt finish, slightly sticky residue. Not too bad.
