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 from the African store on Savska, Zagreb. Hazy golden body, white head. Soft, oily soft aroma, slightly adjuncty, fruity, but passable. Soft taste, grainy, adjuncty, vague fruity-citric note, rice, prickly carbonation. Bitterish finish. Okay enough.

Optisch macht dieses Bier keinen üblen Eindruck. Kräftig goldgelb und klar mit ansehnlicher feiner bis mittelgrober Perlage. Die weiße, fein- bis mittelporige Schaumkrone zeigt sich wässerig-flaumig bei mäßiger Haltbarkeit. Der Duft wirkt leicht süßlich mit einem etwas trockenem Anklang von Heu oder Stroh - generell aber sehr zurückhaltend. Der Antrunk kommt wässerig, leicht fruchtig und süß-säuerlich. Der Mittelteil gestaltet sich ebenso dünn und unspektakulär. Einer leichten Malznote steht eine deutliche, trockene Hopfenherbe gegenüber, die an trockenen Reis und Pappe erinnert. Mundgefühl, Trinkspaß und Süffigkeit sind absolut unterdurchschnittlich. Im Nachtrunk gestaltet sich die Sache absolut flach - keinerlei Aromen wirken nach. Fazit: Trinkbar nur wenn es sein muss. Absolut langweilig und lieblos.

Pint, draught at Kayal's Herb in Leicester. Clear amber-gold body, low white head leaving dotted spots on the glass. Moderate smell of grass and rice. Flavoured with mid-sweet maize, ripe lemon, and rice. Bittersweet ending. Fair enough with our spiced vegan food. (Leicester 08.07.2022).

On tap at Bombay Spice. Pours golden with small white head that lasts. The aroma is straw and earthy malt. Slick body, wheat, straw, dough, light crisp finish, decent.

As far as lagers go, this one sits quite nicely with me, absolutely associated with curry houses and very refreshing (and cooling) even if it does lack a great deal of character. Pours a nice clear pale gold, plenty of carbonation apparent, and a frothy white head, with minimal aroma, just a hint of light malt and fruit. It's grassy and floral, with hints of sweet malt and a dusting of hop bitterness
