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.

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.

thin grassy, grainy, and well, not very good. Flavor leaves an odd sweet corniness in my mouth, Yuck. bottle says extra smooth, i’m thinking more along the lines of extra shitty. I can’t seem to find a reason to finish my glass.

Bottiglia. All'olfatto si esprimono sentori tipo Champagne. L'olfatto viene stimolato in maniera elevata e il modo in cui permane è apprezzabile. Il cappello di schiuma resiste abbastanza. La grandezza delle bollicine è a grana medio-fine. Il liquido è di consistenza limpida e anche qui la grandezza delle bollicine è medio-fine. Il colore è giallo dorato carico. Il corpo è pieno. L'amaro è discreto. La forza gustativa è normale e la durata è sufficiente. Il gusto è piacevole.Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di pronta beva. Il retrogusto è di decente intensità. Il tetto della bocca porta i segni di biscotto, frutta secca, fiori, agrumi, arancia amara, vaniglia e di vinoso, o per lo meno le sue bollicine.

Pours a clear golden with a white head. Aroma of malt and grass. Metallic unpleasantness. Watery, boring pale lager.
