2.3 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 8/20
Aroma of slightly sweet malt. Somewhat hazy, copper tinged, gold color. The white head went quickly, but left spider web designs on the surface. Starts with what I can only describe as light iodine, followed by an interlude of clean flavor, ending with something more like creosote than anything else that comes to mind. After a few more trys it becomes more like a regular lager with herbal components. I don’t think it’s skunked, nothing like that. It’s just different, and I suspect it would go really well with spicy foods. I’d say it’s more for pairing with food than for casual drinking.

2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
Poured a clean fizzy gold with a small white head and fizzy bubbles. Malty aroma with some sweetness but thats it. Light malt flavor and done. There is a second component that appears at the finish and that is tartness. Fizzy mouthfeel. Dry finish.
2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
Pours a clear, effervescent pale golden with a clingy-lacing shorter-lived white head. Bland, lightly malty aroma has a hint of oats and soft fruitiness with some earthy noble hops in the background. Overcarbonated airy body starts with some grassy bland bitterness and a clean, dry finish. Drinkable, but very boring.
1.4 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 1/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 6/20
[Bottled] Golden colour, no head. Some estery artificial strawberries jumps at me at the first sip.It has a rock hard crystal malt character only interrupted by some sticky rice. No hops can be detected.
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
Pours a clear, pale golden, with a big, happy, white head that settles slowly. At first I was surprised by the lack of adversities that I found, which have been present in each of the other Indian beers I’ve tried. Instead, aroma brought a pleasant pairing of light, biscuity malt with grassy, herbal hops. The head, however, was masking the aroma of buttery diacetyl which came out later. Decent enough flavor with its herbal bitterness having a strong enough presence to make the butter a minor annoyance. Not quite thin-bodied with a touch of metal in the finish. I drank half the bottle by itself, but found it was better off paired with some spicy chicken.

Bottled, acquired and drunk in Delhi, India.
Golden Eagle. An adjunct based brew. Simple but with some bitterness. It’s good enough to drink but as your friend I’m not going to recommended it.
