My favorite tipple in Goa is COLD Kings in the small bottles....been drinking it for the last 8 years in Goa.
My wife and i went back to Goa for the monsoon......and to my horror....every bottle of kings i had tasted funny

...i dont know if it was because it was "out of season" and they were not selling as much of it (i tried my best

)....but my brother has just come back and he says the same....Kings not very good.
Has anyone noticed any differance.

Have they changed the recipe

Re: Kings Beer ....

Well in November my friends thought the same. They said that the Kings in the black bottles were ok but the ones in the clear glass bottles tasted funny. I just kept on guzzling whatever was put infront of me and told them they were imagining it, but perhaps not. I'll do a bit more tasting for you in a few weeks time and report back :cheers

Re: Kings Beer ....

You find a lot of the pop(cola,fanta,sprite,seven up,limca) they are all out of date ...wonder if this is why they are cheap? :cheers

Re: Kings Beer ....

Don't most bottles have only a manufactured date?

The guys in our party all said exactly the same. Black bottles tasted ok clear ones not. I said they were imagining it but maybe there is some truth in it now you say :que

Re: Kings Beer ....

I'm not 100p/c sure. i was always looking at the date on anything i bought in India and it always seemed to be manufactured date.

Re: Kings Beer ....

That's correct Neil , it's always the manufactured date.

Re: Kings Beer ....

Been the same the last few years with the taste - some bottles are fine others have a very strong 'hoppy' taste, I could never stand kingfisher, but now in the smaller bottles I tend to swap if I get bad tasting Kings.

Re: Kings Beer ....

I got a mouth infection in december and doc put it down to something I had been drinking. It used to get worse whenever I drank honeybee or kings (which was most days !). When I went back in feb a Goan friend of mine told me that he only drinks the dark kings because the other one tastes bad and another friend told me that Kings is "dirty" beer and has lots of impurities in it. I swapped it for kingfisher and swapped the honeybee for vodka and no more infection. Who knows

Re: Kings Beer ....

Even my diehard Goan kings drinkers have moved on to Kingfisher since it went odd about the end of last season. Some even drinking Bud!

Re: Kings Beer ....

Friends of mine who went early December said the same, one of them is a publican and he reckons they were past their selly by, they switched to Budweiser or Fosters, very strange :que

Re: Kings Beer ....

Friend of mine always asks for Kingfisher in a brown bottle. :cheers

He reckons that the sunlight reacts with the beer in clear bottles, and makes them taste weird. :think

Re: Kings Beer ....

The problem with Kingfisher is the glycerine that goes into the production of it. You can see it seperate when it gets warm....yuk
