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.

330ml bottle. Pours a clear gold with a thin, foamy, short lived, white head that leaves spotty lacing. Aroma of grainy pale malt and skunky hops. Sweet flavour of grainy pale malt, corn and grassy hops in a dry, mild bitter finish. Light body with a thin, watery texture and average to soft carbonation. Too sweet and lacks bitterness. Not great.

Keg at Kappad restaurant, High Wycombe, 04/10/23. Clear golden with a just off white covering that retains well. Nose is soft malts, light floral notes, modest citric zest. Taste comprises light breads, hint of caramel, grass, grains. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. Not terrible ... as good a thing to sip with a curry as a Cobra etc.
