Had a mini Indian beer taste-off between Blue Himalayan and Taj Mahal. Not expecting greatness from either commercially produced lager, but here I go anyway. Look-same light straw color while pouring. TM is typical macro lager. Can't even say that for BH...slightly hazy...slightly. Even pouring down the middle produces little or no head. Aroma-both typical macro lager aroma, with a slight extra unpleasantness to the BH. Feel-BH is flat, and as the aroma and taste are not good either, the mouthfeel is horrible too. TM isn't good, but has better carbonation and isn't as repulsive. flavor-BH rivals the worst of the American macros...no way in hell i'm finishing this. TM is closer to average but still don't want to finish. overall, Blue Himalayan is foul pee water, while Taj Mahal is somewhere between horrible and respectable, although a little closer to the former. No more Indian beer for me. I'll be dumping 18 of the 22 oz of BH, and probably won't quite finish the TM either.

A nice beer. Incredibly smooth. Pours nicely with a thin, white, lacy head. Has a very pale appearance. Drink has an amazing;y soft feel with little aftertaste. Flavor is decent and is a very nice beer and worth a try.

Wow, round two in my whirlwind beer tour of India and it's commercially available beer. Taj Mahal was a bust. How would something that I presume is brewed in the same general neighborhood as the Himalayan mountains stand up to the challange...?
Falls flat on it's face, that how. Only thing I can say about this that isn't directly derogatory is the fact that it comes in a nice 650mL brown bottle -- a nice big size for homebrewers who may not like using 22-oz bombers, but want something more substantial than the typical 12-oz'er to bottle their homebrew.
Other than that, this beer's watery gold hue, rotten grass aroma, insipid flavor profile, non-existent hops, and disturbingly slick mouthfeel means one thing and one thing only to me...
Down the drain you go, my unappealing Himalayan friend.
