Beer Mad Words

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 ...

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 Monet...

If it is a kingfisher; it is a LAGER and the Ultra is literally the Rolls Royce of the indian made mass produced lager universe. I heard a grapewine about Ultra being just a rebranded batch of Heineken brewed by the United Breweries Limited ( the parent company of Kingfisher ), I do not know how true the information is but both the Pints costs the same and have similar tastes. " Yellow Yellow dirty fellow "; to be honest I am not a fan of the generic kingfisher lager from the Green Bottle to the UB export and on rare occasions the Blue too, they all have the similar taste and once it is out of the bottle the carbonation and the head level is not very strong too, but the ULTRA is a little different. Experts will be a better judge on the quality of brew and breaking down the components but from an average beer drinkers point of view three very simple things can be observed about the Beer in Study. #1 The Color or Colour : As mentioned above the Ultra is a Sparkl...

What do you get when a microbrewer takes over the beer supply of a city ? A Flat beer which does not ever deserve to be in the league of the DARK beer's. Gabru is a strong beer and a new taste for the Lager chugging Ambarsari, that being said we sure love this beer, so much so that the tanks go dry. Breaking down GABRU it is a very different Dark Beer, it does not have the Texture of a BOCK and lacks the after taste of a Stout, It is Strong dark for sure but it is not even a DRUNKL. I don't know where do I put this beer, strong and dark but without an aftertaste of Coffee; GABRU is GABRU Jumping into the Rating Wak Factor ;  Ghanta WAk, it is a strong beer with a taste of a Light beer and that is not a good thing. I had no wak there fore it gets a score of 1, cant give it a zero ( personal bias ). Paagi Theeka Kithe : BREWED by Brew masters, available on licence at n numbers of Bars spread across Punjab, chances of finding Gabru are at par Kingfisher Draught especial...

It is among the Super Strong Sons of a beers on sale, at a high percentage of 8.25 % with a very strong taste of Hops ( aka Bitter like hell ). KingFisher Red has some competition a few cans of this monster are good enough to send the best of us in the state of Trance, a few extra cans and bam you are gonna be puking your innards out. Its a beer made in Punjab by Punjab and for Punjab, therefore Burrrraaaaaaaaaa alert if ever you wish to knock your self out with beer. Yes, I know Haywards is owned by SABMILLER group, which originated in London England, the beer under consideration is brewed by ADIE BROSWON BREWERIES LIMITED ( the same plant that makes another very strong beer called Carling ) just outside of GURDASPUR, PUNJAB. A bit of research ( reading the label ) you come across the components, barley, malted barley, the bitter blast of hops and our magic portion Yeast, till this point its alright nothing too special but there another component that is a bit ambiguous RIC...

Stout : It is a dark beer with a after taste that is remotely like that of coffee, in beer terms is one hell of a strong beer with an alcohol percentage of above 8 %. Stout being a strong beer is a little more bitter  than the Lager we are used to, it should not be confused with a Dunkel; which is also a dark beer but is brewed in a different way. Now taste wise you cannot exactly differentiate between the two, it is said beauty lies in the eyes of the beer holder, the same goes for the taste difference some of us may notice a variation and then there are people like me who are yet to figure out the difference between a Dark Chocolate understate and a mild roasted coffee bean after taste. Now that we have the definition clear we dive right into the review... Location : Brew Estate Sector 35 Chandigarh Beer Under study : Stout Sample's Under Study : 4 Point 1 " the Wak Factor "  : Considering it is a strong beer, stout are a bit high on the bitt...

I started my beer story with a blazing Kingfisher, followed by the kick in the stomach GodFather back in 2013,  peer pressure perhaps. Those bitter monsters kept me off beer for a good 6 months till I came across a beautiful green bottle of bubbled elixir called Heineken, and I was hooked. From a Scotch Noob to a beer brother, what I learnt in the 6 months of abstinence was not all beers are same, there are some which taste like death and there are some with taste like a true love's Kiss. I've spent two years following beer like a lost puppy, and what follows this post is a series of beer reviews without the complex words or the typical " food review " but a simple 5 point Beer scale by some one who loves his Beer... The rating is simple and practical... Point one : The Wak Factor... The very first sip of them beer nights in most cases a Barf like gag reflex, it is subdued in us heavy drinkers but let's assume its there . First rating in based on the i...
