I had no chance to sample this beer properly, because I took it in the airport of Bombay at 3am roughly. My long trip to India was over, I felt completely exhausted and since at such inappropriate for beer tasting time this one didn’t make me sick, I suppose it’s not the worst one. The only things I noticed were a mild bitterness and a generous carbonate. Nothing special, but better then nothing when thirsty.

    Stopped by the local international market to price vegetables and decided to check out the beer singles. Picked this one up with a few others. Light, clear gold beer with a smattering of white foam. Smells sweet, boozy, grapey, and maybe a little metallic. Tastes mildly sweet, too, and boozy with a bit of lemon to it. After adding some Jamaican food to the mix, it became very fruity. Light, bubbly, wet. Not worth the import price.

    Pours a clear straw yellow with a thick but not too persistent white head. Aroma is malty and just a bit fruity, not very strong. Flavor is malty and palatable, just a hint of apple - nothing to tweet, but OK. Smooth texture has only average body and just a little fizz. Well, India is not known as a great beer country - yet.

    Green bottle: poured a pale pils-like beer in the glass.... weak head, poor lacing, active carbonation. Has the Heineken/Beck's "skunk" from sulphers in the light- spoiled lager yeast mixing with the saaz hops. Light body, sandy mouth feel, faint malt spine. Light-struck flavor of sweet and sour hop-malt over musty earthy notes, fast finish where the musty tastes are detected ( these musty notes verge on nasty and spoil an otherwise inoffensive bland Heineken clone) I think I got a light-struck sample that skunked....I'd like to try this fresh to make a proper evaluation even though I'm sure it will be a Beck's clone.

    Near impossible to find a bottle of this that isn't skunked. I imagine this could be decent if otherwise. Hops are grassy, earthy notes. Body is well carbonated (though not much - if any - head). I might have some good things to say about this but hard to when a beer is so skunked. Wouldn't try again.

    Very little aroma at all. Very little color at all. This is lighter than even the low-carb US beers. Slight touch of lemon is about it...it's as close to carbonated water as anything I've ever tried. Go ahead and get this if you can, and hold onto it until you're going to be trying a few different beers in one sitting. It's ideal as a palate cleanser between real beers.

    Wow.... what a royal challenge to drink this one. Skunk from the green bottle's ass. Ok... had some honey and grass nose too. Boring pale yellow with shit-all head and all the good other stuff. Slight syrupy mouthfeel. Flat as a Ford tire. The taste is not bad, grassy herbs. I was holding off on this one at the LCBO... now I know why.

    Bottle: Poured a clear yellow color lager with small bubbly white head. Aroma of skunk is overly present and leaves little or no place to anything else (was drank before BBD). Taste is weak with some skunk noticeable and some malt. Overall, this is very weak.

    Poured a thin, golden colour with some head, which quickly thinned out. High carbonation. Had virtually no taste and was even closer to water than most American domestic beers. Near zero bitterness. Not recommended.

    Another one of those hey whatever lagers. A slight lemon taste is present with a mild bitterness. Much better than the American crap variety but nothing to seek out either.
