Dansberg: Another Sub-Himalayan State Heard From
I've just run into another Indian hill-country beer, Dansberg Premium
Lager Beer, from Yukaom Breweries, Sikkim. It took a referral to the almanac to verify that Sikkim is an Indian state, not a new brewing country for my lifelist. (Sorry, we Americans are such geographical yutzes!) Anyway ... in summary, a straight down the middle international light lager; neither an unexpected glory of a remote region, nor an ycch-ptui Gulder gaah! gaah! gaah! undrinkable third-world embarrassment. Brewer: Yuksom Breweries, Ltd., Sikkim [India] Color: slightly cloudy straw yellow. Head: Medium, medium-quick fade, bit of residual lace. Nose: Mostly malt. Taste: A nice smooth malt presence all the way back; whatever the very understated hop bill, it is neither offensive, nor intrusive, nor, to my dubious palate, particular identifiable. The label speaks of "the finest malt and hand-picked hops from Germany"; well, perhaps one might be a bit more specific. Anyway, absent any reference to ghee-as-diacetyl (and diacetyl is definitely in there), it's pretty clear that most of the ingredients are imported. In short, Dansberg is something that would be perfectly inoffensive as an accompaniment to a north-Indian meal, but of limited beer interest to anyone but us completist foamers. Alan Follett |
