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.

Bottle. Sour malt aroma. Golden amber color with small head. Light sour malt flavor. Commercial description is accurate - a light beer to put out the fire of an Indian meal. Pretty much like an American macro.

Bottled. Pale golen colour with huge creamy head. Sweet malty aroma with hoppy hints. Sweet malty flavour and smooth palate. Longlasting malty aftertaste. Lagerish, but pleasant with Indian food.

(330 ml bottle). "Indian" beer brewed in England. Light golden colour, good head. Some hops in the aroma, run of the mill lager flavour, metallic bitterness. Just another "wash down the curry" beer.

A dark yellow beer with no head. The aroma is light and a mixture of fresh and sour - the sourness probably coming from the corn and rice. The flavor is primarily watery, then a bit soury and at last a weird bitterness. Definatly nothing to write about - maybe it would taste better a hot day in India - than a winters day in Denmark?

Sweetish, rather thin, adjunct flavour, not much bitterness. A mediocre lager.
