Felt like living those zombie and virus outbreak movies we have been enjoying all along. A virus so strong that exterminated millions of souls from the face of the earth. We all know what it did to us.
Well am not here to discuss about Covid. But it did affect me too. Social distancing came a lot after, what shook us was the fact that almost everything was closed and the sale of alcoholic beverages were banned for a while. With nothing to try i had nothing to write.
A couple months went by and then like the most awaited sunshine after a gloomy day came the news of alcoholic beverages were being sold. Ignoring the huge queues outside the shops, I decided to buy some good old beer for me.
Pubs and breweries were still closed and so I chose to try a few bottled handcrafts from the stores.
The first in my list was definitely the one everyone was talking about. A new addition to the kingfisher family.
Kingfisher Ultra Witbier
Belgian white…
With an A/V of about 4.5 it tastes more like belgian wit ale… With rich blend and beautiful aroma this beer tastes like craft beer but, not really… Kingfisher brews this with orange, coriander, spices sourced from Belgium and hops sourced from the US. However it’s a great addition to the kingfisher family.
A lager with a bit of flavor… That’s rare.. On a scale of 5, I would rate it a 3.
The next on my list was Simba. I tried a couple of varieties.
With an A/V of 5%, both Light, Wit and Stout were good choices in the absence of fresh brewed pitchers.
Simba Stout has a rich creamy cocoa espresso flavour packing quite a punch. A good one for Stout lovers for sure.
Simba Wit is definitely a refreshing summer drink that is crisp with a hint of orange peel, coriander and lemon grass.
Simba light also like the other two has an A/V of 5%. This light pale bottled beer has beautiful floral aroma. A lovely pale ale for lager lovers…
On a scale of 5, I would rate the Simba collection a 3 again.
My journey has just begun into the world of bottled handcrafts available in India. Will return soon with a few more..
