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.

Light malt and cereal aroma. Has a light to medium carbonation. A very soft, creamy feel for a lager. Light bitterness in the aftertaste but otherwise plain.

Bottle @ home, shared with DutchDrebus. Very clear golden color, small white head. Weird smell, can’t describe it. Weak, somewhat weird malty taste as well. Decent carbonation, low body.

Golden yellow colour, thin white head. Malts, corn, light on hops. Light body. Doesn’t quite fit spicy food as well as expected. Drinkable, nothing more.
(From 33cL bottle @ an Indian restaurant, Nijmegen, Netherlands)

0.33 bottle EU version. Deep clear yellow\gold body with thin white head. Nose of malts and hops. Aroma of some malts, lots corn, herbal hops and alcohol, all smoothed by rice. Despite being double filtered i sense some yeast. Smooth is smooth, and it’s well-hopped too (like a pilsener). Sweet taste with a soft bitterness in the finish, maybe a tingly-metallish feel on the bad side. Body is quite thick for a rice beer (still being light), medium carbonation. I drank this more than once and i was never disappointed, can’t say why ratings are so low, there’s much worse... It’s nothing special but reminds me in taste other beers more valued and rated.

Dunno. If you want beer, don’t drink this. If you want not-so-sweet soda, you might want to try it out.
