Okocim Palone (India)

Brewed by Carlsberg India (South Asian Breweries)
Style: Malt Liquor
Gurgaon, Haryana, India

Bottled, bought in Delhi. First I thought this wasn’t a new beer, so it has been sitting idle in my fridge for quite some time. Clear golden coloured. Has a fluffy white head. Fruits and sweetness in the aroma. A touch of alcohol. flavour is sweet as well and alcohol is very evident. Has a very vague herbal note. Quite thin bodied. No bitterness in the end but a huge alcoholbite. Suitable for the Indian beermarket, where these kinds of beers are quite popular.

Bottled@omhper. Golden colour, small white head. Aroma is slight hops, rubber, sweet malts and also some butterscotch and alcohol. Flavour is fruits, unclean grains, some hop. Quite hayish dry aftertaste along with a certain sting of alcohol.

Bottled, brewed at South Asia Breweries, Aurangabad, Maharashtra, bought in Pune. Clear pale golden, airy head. Sweet and fruity with clean rounded mouthfeel. Alcohol and butter dominates the nose, honey and vegetables join later. Finishes with low bitterness. That Carlsberg sells a malt liquor in one country under the same name as thesell a dunkel in the rest of the world shos how much their concept is based on recipes and flavour and how much that is based on branding.
