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.

Review based on the BJCP2015 guidelines (style 34B). Bottle 75 cl - Batch unknown (BBF unknown). AROMA: predominant medium alcohol aroma with a peppery note, followed by corn/cardboard aroma with the same intensity. APPEARANCE: pale gold color and translucent. large white head with medium-low to low retention. TASTE: similar to the aroma with a medium corn/cardboard flavor, followed by a medium-low grainy sweet malt note. medium-low bitterness with a semi-dry to dry finish. PALATE: meidum-low body with medium carbonation. OVERALL: a stronger pale lager with more emphasys on the corn and with a bit of oxidation.

Jaipur, Woking. Sweet aroma - a massive hint of booze. Golden. No head. Tastes like cider? Frothy body. Confused!

On tap at the Air Canada Maple Leaf Lounge at LHR. Golden with a medium white head. Rather sweet with grain, bread and hints of vegetables. Thin and boring. I am glad that this one was included in the lounge.

Very soft cereal aroma. Nice creamy head and buddly lager yellow body. Crisp lager flavour with malt notes, some tinniness. Really warm out in London so it was positively refreshing as a cold beer, but nothing too interesting here.
