Had this at a beer festival. This is shockingly awful. Its aroma isn’t bad, but not sure what it is, maybe some kind of spice. Appearance is flat, yellow and clean. Flavor is a definite one, it tasted like dish soap, I didn’t know that was possible, this was one of the most awful tastes I ever had. I am very confused, this could have been due to an unusual yeast formula, either way very bad. Palate was astringent and unpleasant.

Bottle. Thin, with a light trace of hops. That’s really all I can say about it, meh. Wasn’t offensive by any means at least.

Bouteille verte de 330 ml. La bière est de couleur paille très pâle avec une mousse blanche fugace et une effervescence à grosses bulles. Au nez on respire des arômes de moufette et de grain avec des effluves de houblon floral. En bouche le corps est mince avec une effervescence moyenne. On goute des saveurs âcre de métal et de houblon désagrégé par la lumière.

12 oz. bottle courtesy of the 6 pack a friend brought to a beer tasting. Hmmmm. Pours a light golden hue with a prominent bubbly white head that dissipates quickly. Aromas are largely skunky, with touches of sweet malts. Taste is similar, with the skunk more muted. A decent lager, I guess. My friend told me that this is much better in India than in a bottle not in India. I believe him. Middle of the road macro-ish lager.

Bottle, local Indian. Skunky aroma. Required to help a hot curry go down. A bit pish.

Bottle @ Indian restaurant. Watery lager, skunky hops, malty. Drinkable, not very good.
