Commercial Description:
Super Strong Beer
India's largest selling strong beer, poised to be the number 1 brand in the country, with an annual sale of over 10 million cases. Smooth tasting yet with a malty flavour and enjoyably strong.

I had a 650ml bottle at a restaurant w. company, so my comments are general and may be corrupted by Indian food, but I’d have to say that I’ve found a really fine Indian beer. Nicely aromatic, strong at 7% alcohol, a nice deep gold color w. sweet, fruity, full flavor. Great complement to the food.

One of India’s largest selling strong beer with 7%. This beer taste like malt liquor. Head is average. Very stron aromatic. Light carbonation to keep you from getting gassy and bloated. Definately goes well with tandoori and other sorts of spicy Indian food!!

Pours with a two-finger head that leaves a ton of lace. Very pale yellow color. Light carbonation. Nose is hay like in a barn. Starts and finishes sweet. Light bodied. So far my best beer from India but this is only the fourth. The label has this "manufactured" by Skol Breweries. $1.95 for a 330ml bottle.

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.

Fairly sweet lager with a crisp flavor. Dark golden in color with simple head. Nice balance and refreshing.
