Tikka Gold a quality premium beer brewed with patience using malt, rice, hops, yeast and spring water. A Pilsner style with Indian character having a good balance of dryness and bouquet of hops and a soft malt character to complement spicy foods.

[1] Review by Sap from Tucson, AZ, USA who has tried this beer once. (8/15/2008 8:51:08 PM)
"Pours with a brilliantly clear, pale, just off-white colored head. The beer is a brilliantly clear gold color that get fairly pale when held up to the light. Sweet grain notes mix with ample DMS in the form of creamed corn. Perhaps a touch of herbal hop character is just noticeable, but the DMS is big enough here that it is really hard to tell. The DMS is actually a bit obnoxious after just a short while.
Sweet grain flavors up front of honey-like grain, sweet corn and pale malt move to a dry finish that has a touch of hop bitterness as well as a light herbal note. As far as balance goes there is just enough hop character to balance out the sweet grain notes and keep them from being cloying. The DMS is not quite as objectionable in the flavor as it was in the aroma, but it does tend to stick to the palate a bit with a vegetal, cooked corn note. Appropriately light bodied, though not watery, and the carbonation provides a nice fizz to the texture.
Just not all that good, even by pale lager standards. The DMS definitely ruins the aroma and don't let this warm up much as it really starts to intrude into the flavor as well.

"Golden color. Medium sized head. Foam dissapears fast. Aroma reminds me of corn and grain. A little sweetish taste, but actually this is more watery and uninteresting, then I expected..."

[4] Review by Stoutlover72 from Northern, California, USA who has tried this beer once. (4/5/2006 2:42:02 AM)
"Somewhat dissapointing. I was expecting something really enjoyable but what I got was much, much less. I got a ton of corn in the nose with a soapyness that really unpleasing. The appearance was a nice clear, yellow color. The slight harshness of the beer was not enjoyable at all, and the flavor corn really didn't sit right with me. A WELL below average Belgian lager. No thanks."

[5] Review by oh6gdx from Vaasa, Finland who has tried this beer once. (2/25/2006 3:42:10 AM)
"Hazy yellowish golden colour with mediumsized white head. Aroma is strong grassy hops and breadish malts. Flavour is sweet caramellish malts with crashes with the stong hayish bitter hoppyness. Also some honeyish hints in it. "
