bottle: Hard to get a real taste for this after Green King IPA but here it goes . . . file this under the British making Indian pale lagers. LIke Kalyani & Taj Mahal, I always detect a litte sweetness at the bottom which makes it slightly stand out from other lagers. You can do way worse with pale lagers, this isn’t that bad at all.

330 ml bottle treated by a friend( thank God ). Pale yellow color with light see-through foam. Pretty sweet taste but as easygoing as it gets. It tastes like it’s warm even if it’s actually cold! Those who have tasted it know what I mean. As for the others do not waste your money on this one. Better taste it from a friend like I did!!!

2006-07-12, bottle at the Pier Palace, Uddingston, Scotland. Fresh summer beverage, drank the drafted version at the local indian. Still suits the lovely food (2009-04-16) - at the same resturant.

Bottle. Pale golden colour with a small, and not very staying, white head. Had a grassy aroma and flavor. Also slightly sweet with a faintly bitter finish. Not the worst of these macrolagers but still pretty ordinary.

Bottle. Pale light golden with a small white head.. Weak hop aroma.Semisweet taste, ends dry, best paired with indian food.

(Bottle 0,33l) Unusual aroma, floral and fruit. Yellow clear color. White minimal head. Medium sweet. Creamy texture.

660ml bottle at an Indian restaurant in Bristol UK. Clear bright gold in colour with a light floral hop aroma and light sweetcorn malt flavours. Finishes abruptly. Less carbonated than most mainstream lagers with a light to medium body. Refreshing with spicy Indian/Asian food but otherwise instantly forgettable. When faced with the same choice again I’d go for a Tiger lager.

Another boring lager. But actually, it goes well with strong indian food. Tried it a few times without the food, and then its horrible..

"The world’s most celebrated lager.." - right off the bottle. yes! this is it! finally! Hey, why does ratebeer say that this is ranked in the 6th percentile for pale lagers? How could we all be so wrong?
Well, poured out a typical clear and solid gold brew with a fizzy white cap that dies soon after. Smells smelllike. Actually, on first smell, this stuff is quite good considering this is a pale. Sweet with malts and a tad bit of corn. Don’t let this warm up! (as if I had to tell you that). The taste was easily a 7 when cold but now, well... I’ve left it too long. Grains mostly and some sweetness, faint corn, ok bitterness. Finishes dry. Better than I thought it would be.
