ThunderBolt Super Strong

Brewed by Mount Shivalik
Style: European Strong Lager
Delhi, India

Bottle bought in Jaipur, Rajasthan. Light golden coloured Clear. Small white head. Aroma is bready and sweet. Flavour is sweet and sugary. Quite grainy and light smoked. Thin bodied. Dry. Has a grainy and sweet end, where the alcohol really shows it’s teeth at the palate. Maybe a tad better than most of the high ABV Indian beers, but still hard to finish.

Bottled (brewed in Punjab, alcohol 5.25-8.25%). Pale golden, no head. Aggressive spicy cardboard aroma. Sweet, thick and very syrupy. An odd burnt smokiness makes it somewhat interesting, but with all that sticky syrup it’s terribly hard to drink.

(650ml bottle, Mfg 10/07, Batch 145) Pours a clear golden body with a small white head. Aroma of corn, grass, and sweet malt. Flavor of toasted grain, light smokiness, and grassy hops with a dry finish. Alcohol not apparent for the said alcohol content (8.75-15%).
