Manav Karma Beer

Brewed by Manav Breweries
Style: Pale Lager
Ghaziabad, India

Pale straw color, no head. Smells and tastes bland, thin, watery, weak. Some sweet grain. Saving grace is a soft mouthfeel. Nice label and good opportunity to make silly joke about bad karma.

Good for chugging with spicy Indian food. Nothing to object to, nor fall in love with.You can drink it like water and you won’t remember the experience, except that it was a better choice than Bud.

Nice aroma of hay and noble hop. Bright gold color with a decent white head. Near medium body with fizzy/creamy carbonation. Flavor is a bit light. Pale malt arguably balanced by noble hop. The finish is dry, even lightly astringent, and there is detectable hop that builds a bit. A light, clean, arguably crisp, arguably refreshing lager. It drinks pretty well. Heads above the macro lagers brewed in the USA.

typical lager type body.(pale yellow with a white head.)the aroma is of earth,orange zest,hay,and caramel malts.the flavor does much of the same with a slight corn type finish.

Dalton, Ga. - Holmes Spirits - 650 ml bottle. Very pale light golden pour, brief spritzy white head. Slight hair tonic in the aroma, hint of spiciness and wet paper bag. Bland flavor, hints of grass, and tinges of metal. Kind of a crisp and refreshing mouthfeel - perhaps its cause I am parched after hiking - but it is somewhat refreshing.

Pours a nice clear amber with a thick head that quickly dissipates. Aroma is strongly malty and fairly typical of a lager. Flavor is crisp and pleasant, not exciting but definitely drinkable. There is just a hint of bitterness, and also a whisper of sweetness. It goes down a little on the thin side but still refreshing and enjoyable. Worth a try.

Pours a fey pallid yellow with mild carbonation, a slight chill-haze and a white head. I knew exactly how it was going to look due to the clear glass bottle it came in. Brilliant! That grabs it a "1" in appearance... for being so considerate. Skunk aromas never truly fade, but there is a harsh Continental hop presence beneath. Flavor is actually pretty good, with sweet pale malts countered by those sharp, herbal hops. If I was in a dark bar with a stuffed nose I would probably really like this.
