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.

0.33 l bottle from Farmah Indien Supermarkt in Graz. Poured lighter golden with tiny head. Slightly corny and rice(?) aroma, quite fine and interesting. Very bland flavor, pleasantly balanced but too watery, near to being tasteless, probably as they wanted it to be"extra smooth", as labeled. Quite short and not specially nice finish with some ugly bitterness. Not awful and nothing unpleasant, specially as it’s not so ordinary, but empty and still boring.

Canned. Pale golden, brief head. Fruity nose. Sweet and thick. Fruit syrup and peppery alcohol is there. medium bodied with little substance and no bitterness. Drinkable for it’s size - but that’s about it.

Etwas malzig-würzig, mild, angenehm herber Nachgeschmack, aber weiter mild. Dazu süffig und meistens untertönig fruchtig. Weit besser als der Geruch vermuten lässt! Test vom 8.1.2008, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 5,7,7,7,6,7 - 6,75

The bottle looks good, but too less labels, hard to find something about the brewery. Looks very zippy, a little bit alcoholic aroma. Starts strong, but becomes washier with every gulp. Not really a good beer.

330ml bottle from Tescos. Amber with very little head; thin and watery, and very sweet, some cardboard flavour despite being served super-chilled. A reasonable accompaniment to an Indian meal - but there are many better.

Pale yellow with a disappearing white head. Lemon soda aroma. Fizzy orange juice flavour. If you prefer Schweppes over beer, this is for you. But why would you want a beer then?

Medium white fine-laced head. Yellow body with light carbonation. Medicinal cardboard aroma with caramelly, rubbery notes. Dry yet sweetish chalky milky rubbery taste with strong cardboard notes. Soft mouthfeel. Dry medicinal cardboard aftertaste. I prefer water. (0.33l bottle at Cardinal, Stavanger.)
