Hello Zooters'
Welcome to another blog for a beer review. Today I am going to review a beer known as BIRA 91.
This beer adds the word White to it. Well by white the brewery tries to signify that though the beer has a main ingredient as barley. However, in white beer, the main ingredient is wheat malted. Now wheat creates white clouds during craft and turns the colour of the beer to bright. The credit of white Beer concept goes to a Belgian Beer Hoegarden.
BIRA 91 replicates the white concept. The beer is introduced in India is a courageous step as the Indian market is all about Strong Beer. Priced at Rs. 100 ( $1.5) a Pint is a good option to go for.
Smell and Feel:
Now let us talk about the aroma, you can obviously smell the fruity citrus flavours, or I would say the orange flavour is much noticed. I could also smell little bit of grains roughly added up during brewing.
Mouth Feel:
Head Retention is very good and Long lasting. Probably a very important part of brewing is indicated by what its head retention is. Froth is dense and thick add up to the taste of it.
Taste test:
Amazing refreshing taste for a beer. Orange and Coriander are dancing around your taste buds. Thick and Creamy Texture as a freshly brewed beer offered inside this pack. You can taste all wheat, orange, coriander, citrus and the cream. Not at all bitter must for people who don't like the bitter aftertaste of a barley malted beer.
Bira 91 offers a taste that if someone tries it for the first time, one will be thrilled with the refreshing taste. However, I have a complaint with the makers that it tastes good only till it is chilled, on room temperature the beer loses the freshness. Though this is a common problem every beer has, Bira 91 has to work on that as well.
I must say give this beer a try and let it please you by giving the ultimate pleasure.
