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.

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.

Draught in Brick Lane. Bright, crisp yellow with a medium head. Nose is light citrus hops, fruity malt. Sweet, fruity, not very bitter, touch of diacetyl as it warmed. I was thirsty, so it was passable.

Color dorado, transparente, espuma blanca medianamente retenida. Aroma muy ligero a cereal y algún vestigio de lúpulo. Hablar aquí de sabor es perder un poco el tiempo, porque prácticamente no aporta nada, es aguada, cada trago es un ligerísimo ramalazo amargo con un puntito dulce de nada y un leve final cítrico, salvo esos detalles la encuentro plana e insípida. Refresca, pero igualmente refresca el agua mineral. No, por favor
