Has an olive oil like aroma to it. Light golden appearance with a thin, quickly dissipating white head. A bit cloudy as well. The flavor has a bit of a smoked essence to it. Initally inviting it ends up being cloying by the end of the 650 ml bottle. Also detect some honey sweetness in there as well. Sort of reminds me of sweet barbecue sauce. Creamy mouthfeel. Would probably make a good compliement to a Tandori platter in an Indian restaurant - the smokiness would compliment the food well. Have to give it points for character though - not your everyday subcontinent lager.

Golden color, very fizzy, a bit of a flowery aroma. Initial flavor (when ice cold) not bad, some malty DMS flavors, and something undefineable floating in the background. As the beer warmed, that something I couldn't place became stronger. Anise perhaps? A sort of bizarre chemical note? The peat mentioned by others here? By the time this reached what would normally be a good drinking temperature, it had spiralled downward into a nasty funk that defies all comment. Leave this one alone.

Light golden. Very carbonated up front; the spritzer quickly turned watery. Fruity (apples, yeast) notes popped up here and there. Papery and cardboardy notes were stronger though. And then there was this hard-to-define, peppery spice. Drain pour. Maybe I got a bad one.

light malt medium hop aroma color was a decent golden,highly carbonated at first but it boiled off in a hurry leaving the brew almost flat.The taste is slightly hoppy with a medicinal side to it,not much there at all.leaves the same hoppy medicinal aftertaste in the mouth.this garbage is worth trying only once for me could probably be better with someone who has a palate for this kind brew or atleast from this country.not for me anyway.

Straw color with medium white head. Aroma is sweet and grassy. Taste is mild and sweet for the most part, finishing slightly grassy bitter. Does what it's supposed to, which is work with Indian food, but on its own it's not something to seek out.

Lots of carbonation. Very lightly colored, nearly transparent. Hope character is present, quite a metallic/bitter sensation. Grassy, lemony aftertaste. Can tell this came from India!

Lots of carbonation. Medium diminishing head. Light golden color with some particulate floating around. Metallic hoppy finish. It might have been a little stale due to the fact the bottle was pretty dusty at the store I bought it at.
