Taj Mahal is the beer for the serious connoisseur. The label on the bottle depicts the heavenly beauty of its namesake. As is appropriate, Taj Mahal is brewed from only the finest water, grain, hops and yeast. It is a delicious and refreshing drink to the utmost! A cool, tall, six hundred and fifty milliliter bottle of Taj Mahal is the best way to refresh after a long day of work… or with a particularly spicy meal. Taj Mahal is as monumental among the beers of the world as its namesake is to the country of India.

First Indian beer, gift from my well intended brother in law who knows I like craft beers …I appreciate the attempt
Clear golden liquid , occasional carbonation streams , three finger frothy white foam crown, spotty lacings
Aroma is faint grains
Taste is beer flavored water
Clean crisp mouthfeel
Lawn mower beer on a hot summer day , the brewers notes are definite hyperbole from Hydrrbad
Nice beer

Not so bad as the avg score here would imply. Decent balanced flavors and nice malt presence. Totally inoffensive to my tastes, and only complaint being that it's a bit thin and watery. Otherwise, glad I tried this one.

United Breweries Taj Mahal Premium Lager, 4.5% ABV. Pours clear yellow with a 3-finger off-white head that left some lacing. Nose is malty. Taste follows, some grain, light hop bitterness. Decent mouthfeel, if a bit over-carbonated. Overall very good.

Had a few large bottles over the course of 30+ years. It is best served very cold and in a small glass. Compliments food pretty well esp Indian & Latino cuisine. It is fairly light bodied, transparent light yellow, ok carbo, a thin white fast dissipating head that goes quickly to edge foam, light spotty lacing. Has a light grassy aroma with some grains. Taste is fairly refreshing with grassy lightly dry hops and gentle malts. Thin feel and a slightly dry finish. Fast easy drinking beer. Reminds me of Amstel Light.
