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.

Pint in Indian restaurant. Feels like I’m drinking nothing at all! Bland lager, too fizzy.

Lager coloured lager. Aroma of lemon and orange. Tastes like every other lager ever, but with a bit of added smoothness and sweetness. Very meh, didn’t even finish the bottle.

Has a fresh sweetness, ideal for warm days. Nothing special though, just a typical lager.

Flaske på Deep Indian Restaurant (ja, den heter faktisk det!) på Vesterbrogade: greide såvidt å balansere den gode maten (som var passe hot&spicy, very tasty ineed), men heller ikke noe mer.

250 yen on sale at Yamaya. 4.8% your typical yellow lager look, sweet grassy aroma. The flavor wasn’t so bad at first, sweet, hay & possibly pilsner malt notes? The coolest thing about this beer is the bas-relied bottle with Indian designs which is odd as it is from the UK. As I kept drinking it the sweetness got kind of much but the mild bitter finish is ok. Not so bad really, it is fairly drinkable.

godt øl med en liten syrlig ettersmak. Brygget på mais, ris over lav varme. Et gyllent og fint øl. Lett drukket. og godt.

Bottled, 0.33l. Clear pale golden color with medium frothy white head. Aroma of herbs, grass, corn malt and cardboard. Tastes of fresh grainy malt, then followed more grassy. Mouthfeel is crisp and dry, while aftertaste is light hoppy. Light body, thin texture and average carbonation in palate. Nothing special, but I kinda’ like it, at least bottle is neat...

Bardzo dobre i ciekawe piwo. Zawirowania gdzie to produkowane i rozlewane? Pierwotnie jest to piwo Indyjskie ale rozlewane w Belgii a ja widzę że produkcja i dystrybucja Anglia na etykiecie. Wszystko to nieistotne. Liczy się smak i wrażenie. A to piwo robi piorunujące. Po pierwsze jak szampan musujące jasno złote i z wielka piana. Zapach ryzowo kukurydziany. Troche nietypowy, podobnie w smakau. Kukurydza, ale nie jako tani zastepczy slod zamiast jeczmienia bo ten takze wystepuje. Butelka szampanowa i elegandzka zlotawa etykieta. Wszystko to sprawia ze piwo jest arcy ciekawe i eleganckie. Polecam, mimo gdziekolwiek jest produkowane.

Bottle at Ramna Indian restaurant, Den Haag. Poured a clear amber with a thick white frothy head and lots of carbonation. It’s a malty lager. Nothing special, not bad either. Fine with a curry!
