(Bottle 65 cl) Courtesy of madsberg. Slightly hazy golden with a rough white head. Unclean skunky aroma with some brewing cereal present. Medium body, notes of solvents and detergents - very chemical. Raw and brutal hopping in the finish. Incredibly unpleasant. 201008

Bottle. [Tasting @ Papsoe 20-10-2008] Small fizzy white head that mostly diminished. Spare display of lacework. Clear yellow color with yeast sediment in the bottle. Aroma was very corn and rice like with mild floral notes. Over the palate came metallic and chemical notes. Light bodied with an average carbonation and mild dry texture. Light bitter and sweet flavor. Light bitter metallic chemical finish.

Bottled and brewed by Empee Brewery. Bought in Ooty, Tamil Nadu. Light golden coloured. Clear. Medium carbonation. Dense white head. Aroma is sweet and grainy with some strange fruity notes. Flavour is full of alcohol (Diesel as omhper says ;-)). Is full of mettallic and grainy notes. Overall sweet and light fruity. Dry. A bit thin. Sweetish and alcoholdominated end. Oh well.

As the first reviewer stated, "petrol and paper." That was exactly my impression. It does have a nice finish of insecticide. Available widely throughout India in bottles.

[Bottled, by Empee Brewery, Tiruvallur, Tamil-Nadu for UB] Clear golden, no head. Aroma of petrol and paper. Sweet and fruity with some peach, but mostly burning diesel. Unclean and foul. To finish a bottle of this is quite an effort.
