People's Bombay Rice Lager: A Taste of Mumbai with a Local Secret!
 
This isn't your average lager; People's Bombay is a Rice Lager that pays homage to the local flavors of Maharashtra. What makes it special is its use of Ambemohar rice, an aromatic heirloom rice variety grown by local farmers in Maharashtra. This isn't just about brewing a beer; it's about celebrating local ingredients and traditions.
 
What to Expect:
 
Style: It's a Rice Lager, which means it's brewed with rice in addition to malted barley. This often results in a lighter, drier, and crisper beer compared to traditional lagers.
 
Bitterness (IBU): It has a very low IBU of 7-9. This means it's designed to be minimally bitter, allowing the unique characteristics of the rice and other subtle flavors to come through.
 
Look: Expect a clear, golden color, typical of a lager, but perhaps with a slight sparkle.
 
Aroma (Smell): You might catch subtle, delicate aromas of rice, possibly with a hint of sweetness or a unique, almost "woody" or "earthy" fragrance from the Ambemohar rice. Some might even describe it as having a slight "soda-like" hint on the nose.
 
Mouthfeel: It's usually light-bodied and crisp, making it refreshing. The dry finish ensures it doesn't linger too heavily on the tongue.
