Kingfisher Lager from United Breweries - UB Group
Rating: D+
Appearance: Typical macro lager color, with a small head that leaves no lacing. Not great looking.
Smell: Vaguely adjuncty, with some straw and malt notes
Taste: Malt is definitely dominant here, with not enough hops to balance. The hops that are present are kind of skunky, I guess the green bottle is to blame. As it warms up, rice flavors definitely show up.
Mouthfeel: Lower than usual carbonation for the style - it could have used more. Body is a little heftier than typical for the style.
Drinkability: I'll pass, thanks. I've had three Indian beers now and none of them have been at all impressive - for the sake of the subcontinent, I hope it's just that the good stuff isn't being imported.
Serving type: bottle
