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 Tescos. Bright golden pour with a white head. Nose is bitter lemon, baked apple, pear. Taste is pear drops, sweet malt, more baked apple, kiwifruit. Sweet, fruity finish. Not bad at all.

Big 7-fiddy Cork & Caged. Chilled right down in the freezer. It pours lightly hazy golden - amber with a thick, fluffy white head. The aroma is sweet, grainy, cereal, rice cake, bread, grass, earth, green banana and dubble bubble. The taste is crisp, dry, boozy and sweet, grassy, earthy hops, damp wood, some spice, rice paper, slightly chalky and foamy banana candy with a dryish, kind of spicy finish. Medium body and highish foamy carbonation. I would say this was better colder and became a bit cloying as it warmed. Not as bad a feared. Good boost of it anyhow.

Bottle BBE May-21. Pale gold colour with white head that lasts about 10 seconds then reduces to lacing. Aroma of light malts, sugar and grain. Medium-low body and quite smooth texture for a pale lager which is one of its strengths. Moderate carbonation at first but dissipates to low quicker than most even direct from the bottle. Taste of light malts, minor hops and deceptively sweet. It might lack flavour but its a different take on a lager and this should be welcomed in itself. Well that's my view anyway! Very smooth and easy to drink.

330ml bottle. Clear, orangey golden colour with small to average, creamy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Sweet-ish, strawy, grainy, malty aroma, hints of maize. Taste is sweet-ish malty and minimally floral hoppy, hints of maize, a touch of viola. Smooth and soft, minimally cloying palate. Rather clean and harmonious, shows some character. Not the worst Pale Lager in the world.
