Had this beer on 7/24/2000. Aroma is a lightly sour malt scent. Color is a pale gold with light carbonation and head. Taste is like a piece of burnt bark. Starting with a medium body it goes down sharp. Finish is BAD, it comes on with a taste that is like burnt malt ground up with stale wood. Overall this may be one of the worst beers I’ve ever had and is definitely the worst beer H.C. has ever made. I just don’t know what they where thinking.

Bottle from Party Town, KY. Poured amber color with a moderate white head that diminished slowly with good lacing. Moderate sweet malty aroma. Medium body with a sticky texture. Heavy sweet flavor with a sweet finish of average duration. This did not meet my expectations.

Old notes. Light in body, crisp but insipable when cold, as it warms its drinkability increases and the finish weighs in with a complex caramel maltiness. Light, but rich red in color. Very little bitterness.

Poured red amber with no head or lacing. Aroma and flavor of malt made this beer too sweet for me. Drainpour.

This is better than any Indian beer I have had. A fine example of a English pub ale. Very malty, some sediment, on the whole a very drinkable beer.

Could use a large blast of hops to even things out. Very malty. Not sure what the India connection is but nothing like anything Indian I’ve ever had IMHO. I enjoyed it but probably won’t look for it again.
