Bottle from Peace St. Market, Raleigh. Gold color, with hopcit/pale malt, and some honey elements in the finish. Not bad. If I liked Indian food, I might drink this with it. I also might hit my head with a sledgehammer. If you love Kingfisher and Taj Mahal beers, you’ll shoot your load over this one.

Golden color, small white head. Aroma of malts and diacetyl. Light body. Malty, lots of butterscotch. Lousy standard lager.

Decent gold color with barely any head. The aroma is an intriguing mix of corn and...orange peels maybe? Wow, quite a bold, smoky taste. Very unexpected. Very smooth, weakly carbonated....seems to be flat halfway through the mug. Not at all bad, I’d drink it again.

Golden in color (who would have thought?) with decent carbonation. Slightly sour malt aroma. The overall impression is of a watered down German lager but wait...there is a very strong smell and flavor of smoke and a taste of oak. It appears that this is aged in charred oak which adds an interesting element. The bottle I had seemed a little off but then it was 8000 miles from home.

"won gold medals" ??? Were the judges on drugs? A heavy pour and only a white one-fingered head that faded quickly leaving no lace. Clear light amber color. Light carbonation and very light bodied. Starts with hints of hops and malt, no distinct flavor, really just a watery lawnmower beer. ABV is listed as <5%. Overpriced at $1.75 for a 12oz bottle from Colonial Spirits, Acton, Ma.

Nice beautiful head. Lots of armoa with a hit of smokeyness to it. I taste a little bitterness to it too. Beautiful bright golden color look to it. Because of the smokey smell, it definately will go well with tandoori foods. Pretty good beer to drink for any occassions.

Had to laugh when I read the commercial description "one of the seven best beers in the world", too damned funny! A medium golden color, clear with little head, fizzy. Smell is sweet and has a chemical quality, like a cleaning solvent....a resinous scent. An unusual mild rauch-like flavor up front but the artificial plastic chemical taste is there shortly after. Thin bodied and just too artificial tasting to drink the whole bottle.

Straw-colored active beer with a foamy head that went away relatively quickly. Previous rater nailed the olive oil aroma that also resides in the flavor ... peaty, maybe a little bit smoky, woody ... yet light body and vaguely sweet. Interesting and different for a light lager.
