2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
(Bottled, 0.75l) Hazy greenish yellow with a medium, big-bubbly head. Aroma of corny, honeyish malt, and some grassy hops. No alcohol evident, at least when cold. Pale-malty, lemony-honeyish flavor with smooth, fruity alcohol presence, and not much hops. Medium-bodied and slightly slicky with smooth carbonation. Reasonably drinkable and smooth strong lager, but doesn’t offer much flavorwise.

King cobra? Isnt that a malt liquor or bum wine? Hazy light amber pour with fizzy off white head. Lemon zest on the nose. Syrupy mouth-feel. Yeast, lemon, and alcohol. Really weird and unique aftertaste almost astringent

Tasted 17/09/2008. 750ml bottle from Regionals. Fizzy! Lemon fruitiness on the nose and in the mouth. A little yeast fruit and bitterness in the finish. Slightly hot. It’s no Moa....
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Fruity esters, shortbread aroma. Poured into a flute for a persistent tornado of tiny bubbles beneath a sustained white head. Light sunny yellow, faint haze. Soft flavor, not a lot of complexity, but no flaws either. More shortbread, some dusty hay also. Full soft finish. The story is more interesting than the beer, though I would rather have this with my Indian food than any other Indian beer.

75cl bottle. Hazy and orange in colour with an ample but brief white head. Sweet, very malty and fruity aromas. Thick and syrupy with plenty of spicy malts. Crisp, dry finish. Nothing exemplary but rather quaffable.
