Actually I'm enjoying this. It's a sweeter beer but it's better than I expected, and it's somewhat different that other beers I've tried. Worth a taste.

It pours a hazy golden with thick white head and thick lace. Sweet aroma of malts, hops, citrus, and mild spices. The mouthfeel is smooth, rich, and full-bodied. Flavors of sweet malts, hops, citrus, and light peppers and spice. Very good!

First feel is a somhow different. Aroma is strange and appearance strange. No top at all. But actually if it's already seventh bottle, then everithing is OK :)

The bottle I sampled was one of the Krait labels. Pours a clear yellow with a fleeting head. There’s not a lot of flavor, but then, there’s nothing offensive either.

"Krait: noun :: A brightly colored venomous but nonaggressive snake of southeastern Asia and Malay peninsula."
Not a bad name for a beer -- except that it rhymes with *crate* , as in, "I don't want to be stuck with a full *crate* of this crappy beer...."
But actually, I expected much worse from this, to be honest. A mysterious Lager from the U.K., with obvious Indian references on the rather unique-looking bottle (check out the Cobra Beer Co website for an example of what I mean)...., purchased for $0.70 at Trader Joes.
Looks decent enough -- a bit darker than what I would normally expect to see in a Lager such as this. But the smell? Ugh -- reminded me of warm Miller Lite, to be honest. I got used to it, but it was never very appealing in the nose.
And the flavor? About what you would expect, really. That is to say, some basic malt, enough hops to provide balance, but otherwise quite watery and routine, all-told. A bit more appeal than some of the recent crappy Lagers I've had -- the 5.0%ABV helps a bit here, I think.
Definately a one-off beer, if you ever feel the need to drink an Indian Lager transplanted to the U.K. (and contract brewed in Poland, to further thicken the plot). But really, why....?
A beer that might appeal to bottle collectors, but otherwise...? Nah....
