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 from Morrisons. Given the powerful name and elaborate bottle I expected better than the bland tasting slightly dry lager that’s clearly stronger than but perhaps lesser than regular cobra. Has a weak pale golden appearance with a small bubbly head that disappears fast. Aroma is slightly sweet.

660ml bottle, freebie with a takeaway curry. Clear golden amber colour, foamy white head leaving some lacing and aroma of malt, grain, cardboard, metallic. Taste is sweetish, malt & grain, with straw, cardboard and metallic bitterness. Watery mouthfeel, light bodied, highly carbonated, lingering sweet malty & dry bitter finish. Bland lager.
