Bottle from Root Cellar. Poured clear yellow color with a small frothy white head that diminished slowly with minimal lacing. Moderate sweet grainy aroma. Light to medium body with a thin texture and soft carbonation. Light sweet flavor with soft sweet finish of short duration. Ice cold summer brew.

I thought I was drinking an Indian beer here but it turns out to be made in NY according to my bottle. It was light, malty and bland.

Bottle. Light aromas of grain and grass with corn and cooked vegetable in the background. Head is small fizzy white with no lacing and is mostly diminishing. Color is sparkling clear gold. Flavor lightly acidic start to finish and is a touch sour. Palate is light, watery and has a fizzy carbonation. Refreshing, but mostly just a blah tasting beer.

Bottle. Kingfisher Lager pours a dark golden color with absolutely no head. I even stretched the pour a foot from the glass, nothing. Three big whiffs later and I smell nothing, literally there is no aroma of hops, no fruit, not anything. I have to agree with dp in that the unique fuit and bitter combination tastes like a grapefruit. Other than that, it is just water.
