100 Beers, 100 Days: Day #16
Taj Mahal Premium Lager Beer
The Indians hung out with the British for a few years, and the British are pretty ok at making a beer when they put their minds to it, so I figured this beer at least has a better chance than that Lithuanian thing. Unfortunately, it seems like the makers of this particular Indian beer got most of their advice from the Americans.
Taj Mahal is a very light, clear yellow with an average head that dissipates quickly into a thin ring. It smells mostly of hops, grassy and a little flowery, and it has that corn smell reminiscent of an American lager. The taste is pretty thin. There’s some grain, some hops, and a little bit of an oily feel that robs it of some of its crispness. In all There’s really not much to say about Taj Mahal. There’s nothing particularly offensive, but nothing special about it, either.
