Bottle from John’s Market in Portland, OR. Light orange tinged gold color with a white head that promptly dissipated. A medium malty aroma with a possible hint of grassy hop. Near medium body with creamy carbonation. Flavor is strong pale palt with a touch of wheat and very little grassy bitter. It is smooth and drinkable - almost having an aged in the wood note. Could use a bit more hop.

The aroma is sweet malt, citrus, soap, and flowers. The appearance is pale gold with an average head. The flavor is like the aroma. The palate is smooth but thin. I don’t think this is that good.

This is a guilty pleasure beer, despite my low rating, I think this a beer I can drink on days from rough days. its got some flavors of corn and high alcohol. more like a fancier version of a malt liquor. I’ll drink it.

Pours golden with a small white head. Aroma is sweet. Taste is sweet with a slight hop flavor. Refreshing and pretty decent for a lager. Went well with the Indian food.

This is my first India beer rating and it is amazing this 650mL bottle at 7% ABV is coming half way across the planet and only costs $2.99 in Florida. I’m certainly glad they didn’t bother with a Hayward’s 4000 because that would have been just silly. 5000 is the right call, know that.

Pours pale gold with white head. The aroma is faint with sweetness, faint dark fruity esters and mild chemicals. The taste is sugar sweet sugar and cereal followed by floral hops and faint dark fruitiness.
