Kingfisher is a lager beer brewed in India and sold
widely in the UK and North America.
Since I have only sampled this product in the UK
this review is based on that perspective.
Not only will you find your local Balti House or Moghul
eatery stocking this beer but you will also find some
off-licences and supermarkets give it shelf space.
Kingfisher is marketed as ... ’’ India’s best-selling
premium lager....’’This Indian beer is certainly a
good one and the export version has an alcohol content,
by volume, of 5 %-so it is by no means weak.
Just as importantly it has a full flavour and is smooth,
creamy but seemingly dosen’t have much of an aftertaste.
I find it is a thoroughly refreshing drink and it is
really does go wonderfully well with traditional
English food, Italian dishes, Chinese dishes, chicken
vindaloo, poppadum, onion bhaji and whatever other
dishes you enjoy eating at your local eatery.
I should add Kingfisher dosen’t only have to be drunk
when you are having a fiery curry.On a hot summer’s
evening two or three glasse of this fine lager will
refresh you. Watching Manchester United, Leeds and
Arsenal on Satellite TV battle away in the European
Cup could be made even more enjoyable if you also
drank a couple of Kingfisher’s.
In short this is a fine beer which I would recommend
you try! I do not think you will turn out to be
disappointed. The brewing industry in India can be
proud of this beer !
