[Bottled] Golden colour, no head. Some estery artificial strawberries jumps at me at the first sip.It has a rock hard crystal malt character only interrupted by some sticky rice. No hops can be detected.

Pours a clear, pale golden, with a big, happy, white head that settles slowly. At first I was surprised by the lack of adversities that I found, which have been present in each of the other Indian beers I’ve tried. Instead, aroma brought a pleasant pairing of light, biscuity malt with grassy, herbal hops. The head, however, was masking the aroma of buttery diacetyl which came out later. Decent enough flavor with its herbal bitterness having a strong enough presence to make the butter a minor annoyance. Not quite thin-bodied with a touch of metal in the finish. I drank half the bottle by itself, but found it was better off paired with some spicy chicken.

Bottled, acquired and drunk in Delhi, India.
Golden Eagle. An adjunct based brew. Simple but with some bitterness. It’s good enough to drink but as your friend I’m not going to recommended it.

Straw color with a dense moderate head of off white bubbles. Odd aromas, with mild grain and grit topped with white pepper. Mashed potatoes in a cardboard box flavors. Mild light spicy hops late in the sip. Dry herbal finish. Mild corn sweetness found in the flavor. Lack of malt in all areas.

The Legendary Beer of India, proclaims the label. Possibly, but it would have to be for the most creative use of corn. They made it drinkable. Golden in color with a frothy white head, corn dominates the aroma and taste of this sweet lager. Oddly, perhaps because the finish is clean, it’s not offensive and can be drunk without grimacing.

they had this in the club at our hotel.. and it was pretty good.. but I was pretty drunk. It poured a fairly light color w/ lots of carb bubbles and smelled lightly of malt pepper and something stale.. palate was pretty thin. The flavor seemed good enough at the time pretty mild lightly malty w/ a tin taste in it. Overall I thought it was at least miller quali8ty after half a bottle of scotch.

650ml bottle along the road north of Delhi. A clear, light amber color with a light, slightly dry malty flavor. Medium-bodied with a clean finish but no substantial flavor. Safer than tap water.

I must’ve really screwed up in a past life for this kharma to befall me. Pours a pale gold, which is the only positive about this crap. Taste is a weird mixture of smoke, copper, and malt. What in the name of Maharaji is this stuff? This is awful, truly awful. Luckily, I only bought a single. Perhaps my kharma wasn’t so bad afterall.
