Handwritten notes: It's quite odd that I have never before heard of "the world's most celebrated lager". If nothing else, buy this beer for the incredible glasswork on the bottle. It is outrageous. I sincerely hope this beer was not imported to my City to coincide with the opening of the GI Joe movie. This is a bitter (and therefore good) beer. There is not much body to it, but by this point in my career I have begun to realize that I prefer the lighter, hoppier beers. It is perhaps interesting to note that this is my second beer from India, and both taste exactly like German lagers. This beer would be a nice compliment to a plate of orange-brown mush and rice. I like Indian food, but no matter what the recipe is, it always turns out looking like the time your dog ate his own crap and vomited it up.
