Arlem (Aurangabad - Heineken Asia Pacific) Reviews

GoufCustom	3.2 Cannon 10000 Super Strong 500 ml can bought at Liquor Shop in Empress Plaza, Tsim Sha Tsui. Three finger head with soapy white foam which lasts for 3 minutes; Fair sticky lacing with fizzy slow carbonation; Very sweet aroma of malt, with strong sugar syrup, honey, floral nectar, fruity esters, light bread, light lemon and light grass; Close to medium sweet taste of malt, with moderate alcohol, pineapples, floral, fair sugar, light bread, lemon and light grass; Medium body. Quite slick palate; Mouth feel is fairly good maltyness in a slick background. Booze and sweetness are moderate at best, not even a hint of cloying syrup, fusel nor knock-ons. Flowery with light lemon to round. Pretty neat!... Hoppiness is light floral, light lemon and light grass in nose and taste; Bitterness is fair for an abrupt, mid to low astringent sweet-bitter malty finish; Wet after taste. Fair sweet boozy and light bitter to mouth. Comments: This is certainly not the ugly fusel monstrosity typical of Indian Malt Likkas, maybe the canned versions for export are different from local bottles? Its sweetness and booze is pretty restrained and it is much more enjoyable than most Euro Strong Lagers. Surprisingly decent! Monday, November 19, 2018

Grumbo	1 Arlem Lager Beer From historic notes, a work colleague brought this back from Goa for me some years back. Maybe it would have tasted ok on a beach in Goa (he had drunk a fair few of these and lived to tell the tale) but my historic notes are pretty disparaging and can’t really be repeated here. Suffice to say it was pretty bad... Sunday, February 21, 2016

austone	1.2 Cannon 10000 Super Strong 650ml bottle, bbe 12/08. Light golden, small pale head. Plain alcohol and solvent nose, hint of sourness, rubber and sweetness. Very sweet flavor, plastic, sugar, artificial fruitiness, faint sourness and booze. Light bodied, basic coarse carbonation. Good and honest. Thursday, May 21, 2009
oh6gdx	0.8 Cannon 10000 Super Strong Bottledf (thanks omhper!). Golden colour, small white head. Aroma is grains, rubber, barnyard, catpiss and also maize. Melted rubber as it warms up. Flavour is harsh melted rubber, rains, maize, barnyard and quite much horror. Sunday, April 12, 2009
TBone	1.2 Cannon 10000 Super Strong Bottled (Asia Pacific Breweries Aurangabad, BB 12/2008). Pale yellow color, small white head. Strong aroma of cat piss, grassy hops and plastic ... I am almost speachless. Fizzy. Corn malty, sweet, grainy and some moonshine booze. This is prototype of Indian malt liquers. Very nasty and adventurous. Thursday, April 9, 2009
madbeer101	1.2 Cannon 10000 Super Strong Bottled bought in Delhi. Yellow coloured. Clear. Dense white head, which is quickly diminishing. Sweetness, straw and sterin in the aroma. Flavour is grainy and alcoholdense. Sweet and fruity touch. Not much body. A bit dry. Is alcoholdense in the end. Saturday, January 24, 2009
Spesh1	2.1 Cannon 10000 Super Strong Looks better than it tastes. The Indians skull these down to get the heavy alcoholic kick. Unpleasant after taste. Drank it all despite drinking it with great indian food. Wont try it again but glad I tried it. Wednesday, October 22, 2008
hammenlind	1.5 Arlem Lager Beer Pale yellow coloured. No head at all. Very clean and fresh. Malty, with an harsh mouthfeel. Boring. Low bitterness in finish. Thursday, June 29, 2006
omhper	1 Cannon 10000 Super Strong [Bottled] Clear golden, brief head. Aroma of lemon and peach in syrup. Sweet, fruity and lemony. Alcohol is very evident. No bitterness. Monday, June 5, 2006
omhper	1.1 Arlem Lager Beer [Bottled] Clear golden, fizzy head. Very papery with sharp, hard mouthfeel. A lot of rice and fizz, but not much substance. Monday, June 5, 2006
SilkTork	2.5 Arlem Goa Dry Bottle from an off-licence in South Woodford. A creamy vegetable fat lager. Mostly neutral, and on the plus side of bland and inoffensive. Pleasantly interesting. Friday, January 21, 2005
