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.

Bottle. Nose is cereal, grassy, some fruity esters, the dreaded pilsner cardboard. Taste is cereal, some soft fruit notes, peach, marzipan, a creamy note which I guess was the rice, the a short herbal and grain finish. Mouthfeel is lager horrible. Bought because it was cheap in Morrisons, I wasn’t expecting it to have been brewed in Palm. In fairness it’s much more interesting than the souped up macro-lager I expected, but is still not actually nice in a meaningful sense.

Pale golden, ivory head. Almost no aromas: just a little bread and a little iron. Watery and light. Metallic notes on the tongue. Very short-lingering finish. Easy to drink, easy to forget.
