A Fizzless Wonder : Mango by Star Barrels

I am disappointed, the worst beer I've had till date. Mango Flavoured Barley water does not qualify as beer.
I may not be know the first word of brewing beer but I know two thing you cannot sell flavoured water by calling it BEER, that is unethical.
I don't even want to write a post about it, C.B.S.E style point system for today.

1. Flat, literally no Head on a Beer ?
2. Absolutely no Bubbles
3. Too Strong Mango Flavour
4. Absolutely nothing special about the special brew, except the Glass it was served in
5. Zero Buzz
6. Some one forgot to put Hops ( they aren't capable of Zero IBU )

Wak Factor : ZERO

ALCHOMETER RATING : 2, It had about 3 % Alcohol content or less, it was a very weak beer
.
Chuggability : how fast can you chug mango wala soda ?
Damn you protocol, 5 underserving points for the Mango

Burp Factor : Since it is my bloody rating scale a negative infinity. Flat as the bottom of a Cardboard box, no carbondioxide no burp.
A big bloody 0

Monetary Matters : 300 with taxes for a wretched 500 ml glass of Flavoured soda, not worth it.
A pathetic 1

Aesthetic Appeal : Only factor this beer may score some points it deserves, it is a good looking glass of liquid. The Liquid is a dull shade of Yellow in a slender glass with accentuated curves.
4.0 on the Beauty Index

I'm forced to write a good point about the Beer that was very disappointing.
The Effort is commendable, it may not be the best brew by an otherwise very efficient brewery. It may not satisfy the pallet of someone who knows what beer should be like, I went out with relative occasional drinkers and they did not seem to mind the " Highlighted " weak points. This may be a weak beer but is selling is high volume.

HEINEKEN v/s KingFisher Ultra

Image
Two similar beers brewed at the same plant by United Breweries and sold as almost the same price with a mean of 140 per pint ( Rate List in Punjab ). There is a grapewine in the beer scene that it is possible that Ultra is just rebatched Heineken. It is easy believing the claim as the beers are indeed similar and the fact that Heineken practically calls the shots in the United Breweries with a 43 % share hold. Considering how I am not the regular beer reviewer and I am not at the level ( yet ) to break down the brewing process of both the beers, I'm going to try and put the rumor mills to the rest with a simple analysis that almost all of us beer chuggers can use. Step one : The layer of froth and Carbonation Pour both the beers into a similar glasses, I would recommend an standard Pint Glass for easier pouring. Heineken has a slightly higher number of bubbles rising and the Head ( Froth ) is stronger ( read visibly larger ). Step two : color difference , we coul

Its been a month since the last time a good beer travelled north of Delhi, deep into the heart of Punjab. With the supreme court tightening the noose around the supply of Alcohol, aapna thekka Chandigarh is rendered useless. We Punjabi's are stuck with an old stock of super strong beer and we take on the Thunderbolt tonight Super bloodystrong beer, 8.25 % alcohol volume, a very bitter after taste. Made with every possible ingredient that can be fermented. It has Wheat It has Barley It has Rice It has some More Wheat It can have some Potato too It most definitely has Hops and a lot of them Paagi Thekka kithe : Thunderbolt has taken over the city, if you ask for beer in Amritsar you are going to get Thunderbolt only 5 points Chuggabilty : If you love your larynx please drink it slow. This Buttery yellow hue wali beer has a very strong case of over carbonated and it is a Superstrong beer there fore bitter is an understatement. Pop the lid and the beer rushes out (

CARLING Premium Strong

My Thekka or the Liquor Store I buy my stock from called up About a New batch with Carling and Haywards etc had come in, and I would no longer have to make do with the Thunderbolt. So we picked up our Helmet and Rode down to the thekka in the middle of a wet evening with occasional thunder to get our beer fix. The ride in the rain was worth it, the BEER... Bleh Not at all... CARLING BRITAINS NUMBER ONE BEER, I did not say that it is written on the bloody Label. Generic Beer at best and too bloody expensive for absolutely no reason. C.B.S.E style point system Color : Buttery Yellow with a Shimmy Finish, just like every other super strong beer on sale in Punjab. Alcohol Level : 5.25 to 8.25 % Legs on the side of the glass look neat and are decent. Carbonation : I liked the Carbonation, for a bottle that had a few hours in the Refrigerator to settle down to its ground state, even before the first sip there was a good thick layer of Foam on top of the bottle.
