JPDIPSO (4957) - Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, USA - NOV 25, 2005
Straw color with a dense moderate head of off white bubbles. Odd aromas, with mild grain and grit topped with white pepper. Mashed potatoes in a cardboard box flavors. Mild light spicy hops late in the sip. Dry herbal finish. Mild corn sweetness found in the flavor. Lack of malt in all areas.

Cornfield (5240) - Oak Forest, Illinois, USA - AUG 10, 2005
The Legendary Beer of India, proclaims the label. Possibly, but it would have to be for the most creative use of corn. They made it drinkable. Golden in color with a frothy white head, corn dominates the aroma and taste of this sweet lager. Oddly, perhaps because the finish is clean, it’s not offensive and can be drunk without grimacing.

MIBRomeo (2105) - Wisconsin, USA - JUL 30, 2005
they had this in the club at our hotel.. and it was pretty good.. but I was pretty drunk. It poured a fairly light color w/ lots of carb bubbles and smelled lightly of malt pepper and something stale.. palate was pretty thin. The flavor seemed good enough at the time pretty mild lightly malty w/ a tin taste in it. Overall I thought it was at least miller quali8ty after half a bottle of scotch.

tomciccateri (681) - Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA - JUL 4, 2005
650ml bottle along the road north of Delhi. A clear, light amber color with a light, slightly dry malty flavor. Medium-bodied with a clean finish but no substantial flavor. Safer than tap water.

KAggie97 (3170) - Ugly, Hot, and Humid Spring, Texas, USA - JUN 11, 2005
I must’ve really screwed up in a past life for this kharma to befall me. Pours a pale gold, which is the only positive about this crap. Taste is a weird mixture of smoke, copper, and malt. What in the name of Maharaji is this stuff? This is awful, truly awful. Luckily, I only bought a single. Perhaps my kharma wasn’t so bad afterall.

DocLock (5776) - Lower Pottsgrove, Pennsylvania, USA - JUN 6, 2005
Bottle from Peace St. Market, Raleigh. Gold color, with hopcit/pale malt, and some honey elements in the finish. Not bad. If I liked Indian food, I might drink this with it. I also might hit my head with a sledgehammer. If you love Kingfisher and Taj Mahal beers, you’ll shoot your load over this one.

TBone (9096) - Pori, FINLAND - MAR 19, 2005
Bottled 06/2004, 650ml
Golden color, small white head. Aroma of malts and diacetyl. Light body. Malty, lots of butterscotch. Lousy standard lager.

RedEft (131) - Wichita, Kansas, USA - JAN 16, 2005
Decent gold color with barely any head. The aroma is an intriguing mix of corn and...orange peels maybe? Wow, quite a bold, smoky taste. Very unexpected. Very smooth, weakly carbonated....seems to be flat halfway through the mug. Not at all bad, I’d drink it again.
