500ml can. This appears to be an actual rural Indian brewery, long bought up and subsumed into a much larger corporation, the one who runs their website, and gets all wet about their ISO this, and their ISO that. Maybe talk about your products, eh, dumdums?
This beer pours a clear, pale golden yellow colour, with two skinny fingers of weakly foamy, and mostly bubbly dirty white head, which leaves pretty much nil in terms of permanent lace anywhere near the glass as it quickly blows off.
It smells of semi-sweet grainy pale malt, cheap corn bread, alcohol solvent, low-rent apple cider vinegar, and let's just admit it, the morning after floor detritus of yer local dive bar. The taste is acridly phenolic yeast, equally unpleasant alcohol (really?), gritty corn and rice patty mash, very stale red apple skin, more cider-borne vinegar astringency, and a bit of skunky, weedy, and musty, um, 'hop' bitterness, y'know, just for shits and giggles.
The carbonation is fairly low and unobtrusive, the body medium-light in weight, and clammy and pithy, almost beyond measure. It finishes off-dry, off-kilter, and off-the-charts as far as the concept of upended balance and/or drinkability goes.
Gah. The work involved in getting this listed at all on BA should have been a warning sign alone, but I'm not one to take heed, apparently. A typical bottom-shelf version of the style, all phenols and unchecked alcohol - given that it cost me less than 2 ducats in price-happy Alberta, should tell me something further. The only plus I can see is that Minhas has new competition around here, and from their ancestral homeland, at that - hah!
