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.

bright golden colour, OK white head; lager-like aroma; taste of artificial (maybe metallic?) bitterness, with some sweet aftertaste, low carbonation; nothing special; one of the worst value for money rate; strongly not recommended for this price (almost 1.5EUR/0.33l in a supermarket!!!)

Tap at the Rajdoot, Burpham - 27/12/12 fuck your Epics and Abyss’s ... parallel tasting with Kingfisher !!! Clear pale golden, carbonation evident, creamy white head that retains well. Nose is pale malt and grain, a suggestion of fruit?! Taste follows, pretty limited. Medium bodied with spritzy carbonation. Dull, bland, watery ... Kingfisher shaded it by 0.1 !

Bottle from a Curry House in Erdington (Spice Blue); yellow white head, quite refresing with a curry but ultimately bland & flavourless.

Bottle at home - 02/09/12. Having a beer free 10 days, so guess this doesn’t count. A pregnant friend brought it round earlier in the year when we had a curry and left it, I wouldn’t pay good momey just to tick a style! Pale straw colour with a bubbly white head and lots of visible carbonation. Smells very grainy, oats, a little caramel. Tastes of aspartame, overly sweet, fake citrus flavours, plasticy. Light bodied, not as much carbonation as the visual suggested, leaves me with a candarel taste on my lips! Rancid - 5 sips was enough, the rest is being liberated to Thames Valley Water - thank you and good not!

Still metallic golden beer under a medium, dense snowwhite head. Vague maltaroma, straw, bit grassy, greenmalt. Dull-malty, finishing sweet, milkripe grainflavour. Flat, dead, sweetness ending up as liquorice-infusion. Utterly dull, but in all honesty, I was expecting much worse even.

Easy to drink lager but there is nothing that stands out about this Asianesque brew.
