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 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.

Pours clear amber with an acerbic rice head. Aroma is acerbic. Taste has malty notes, not much else. Palate has slightly smokey malt elements. Eh.
