Description
Founded by Karan Bilmoria in 1989. The beer was initially brewed at Mysore Breweries in India but, from 1996, was brewed under contract in the UK by Charles Wells. The company went into administration in 2009 and the business was acquired by a joint venture company owned 50.1% by Molson Coors and 49.9% by Karan Bilmoria. Since then the majority of the beer has been brewed at Molson Coors UK’s Burton brewery but the company also has production facilities in Patna, India.

Ljust gyllengul klar vätska med vitt skumlock. Arom av gräs och ljust bröd. Lätt kladdig maltighet och en låg och lätt gräsig beska. Kort i eftersmaken.

I drank this one in an Indian restaurant, nothing special, boring, watery, some cereals, no hop, the Indian food was better, 22.08 16, with Fred at Geneva, les Pâquis.

620 ml bottle from Sainsbury's, London, England. Enjoyed at the Park Plaza Hotel. Pours a crystal clear gold color with a white head and very good retention. Good lacing. Pale lager aroma. Euro pale lager flavor, with light sulfur notes. Not as clean or smooth as most beers. Tastes like a macro Euro lager. Medium body. Medium-light carbonation. Low bitterness. Okay. Looks better than it tastes.

The third so-called IPA that I had today. OK to drink with a fiery curry but not what I would call an IPA. Pint in the Moghul Rooms, Towcester.

Pale golden colour. Smooth and not bitter , really thin body and really low carbo. The only use I have for this beer is at an Indian buffet and you need a light beer to be able to feast on more delicacies.

A corked 750ml bottle shared with a friend. A good few years since I've tried this one, it's good but not great.
