standard curry beer, ’nuff said!

Swell down the curry beer. A very flat plain looking and tasting beer.

It is probably a cliche’ to repeat the Greek proverb made famous by Isaiah Berlin, but: a fox knows many things, a hedgehog knows one big thing. This beer is a definite hedgehog. Aroma, flavor, appearance--nothing much to say--but I had this beer in an Indian restaurant *on tap* and it offer a lasting carbonation--a fizz on the mouth that continued right to the end of my curry. As a way of balancing a lamb madras, this beer should be fine IF YOU GET IT ON TAP. And of course, if you’re sweating over a lamb madras, it isn’t very likely that you’ll taste the subtleties of most beers, much less a lager.

Very plae, sweet and bland. My bottle also was also bought in the Netherlands, so by all likeliness I too had the UK version.

Don’t be fooled in drinking this, when you visiting a Indian restaurant. Although it supposed to be coming out of exotic Rajastan in India, the one I drank is brewed and bottled in England. It should have a crips en refreshing taste. But in my opinion it is a dull lager wich is made out of 3rd class ingrediants.

I think I had the UK version of this beer. Don’t where is was brewed. But it’s not much better I guess looking at the ratings by those aussies. The aroma is bad malts. It’s sweet, thick and heavy. Very unlike normal lagers.

sweet and syruppy and undrinkable. just thinking about it makes me want to vomit
