Indra (1889), Prairie Village, Kansas, USA Jan 6, 2009 660ml bottle, batch code R138. The rather unusual aroma is mildly fruity, sweet and musty, malty, nutty and citric, with notes of carrot, earthiness and faint herbal spices. Hazy medium orange-amber color, bottle-conditioned, with a lasting, fine, creamy head. Flavor falls a bit short, with a wan sugary caramel sweetness and vaguely metallic bitterness that sort of goes nowhere. Touches of citric fruit, a brief hop character and cellar must towards the finish. Mouthfeel is highly effervescent and thin with a medium body. Interesting in that it’s a beer from Argentina. couchand (165), Iowa City, Iowa, USA Sep 22, 2008 Wow... people really don’t like this. I didn’t think it was THAT bad.
Lightly hazy copper, good white head. Delicate fruity nose. Light maltiness, some funkiness. Light and playful, slightly sweet.
Nose is great, flavor doesn’t live up to it, though. heemer77 (3955), Savannah, Missouri, USA Apr 30, 2008 Light copper colored body with a large slightly off white head. The aroma has some notes of sweet pancakes and pears. Ther eis also a hint of cinnamon. The taste has some light notes of caramel and apples. There is a definite wlanut pancake character here. Lightly hopped, this is sweet and smooth. Lightly carboanted, and decent. davidpl (416), Santiago, Chile Apr 13, 2008 Appearance: amber color. Great head with beige color, lasting and some rocky.
Aroma: caramel malty, lightly yeasty and some honey’s and dried-peach’s reminiscences.
Flavor: light sweet and some candy from crystal malts. Reminiscences of honey, peaches, red-apples and light butterscotch. Medium-dry finish from hops with medicinal touches.
Palate: medium body. Medium carbonation.
Maybe the nicest Jerome’s beer. stoutlover72 (1342), NorCal, California, USA Apr 10, 2008 I can’t really say why I plunked down nearly $7.00 for this bottle. Maybe it was because it was new? Perhaps because it looked cool? And if I had remembered my beginning h.s. Spanish 101, I would have remembered this was a red ale. Which means it was probably gonna suck. And while the end result wasn’t suckage, it was far, far from greatness.

The beer pours out dark copper colored beer, mostly clear with a very smallish sized head. Aroma of apples/cider was most prominent, with a touch of caramel and aspirin infused water. Flavors were metallic, slight nutty bitterness and that’s about where the show ends. Way over-carbonated for my liking, it was almost like hearing someone pour a soft-drink there was so much noise. Pass.
