Haywards 5000: Honsala buland required

The Blockbuster 
This beer comes riding an army of corny commercials and stupid jingles. They once had Sanjay Dutt and Suniel Shetty bashing up an army of 10 villians with a Haywards 5000 crown (soda of course). Their most recent 'Hosala Ho Buland' Campaign conveys that this is the beer to be had for the hard-working salesman, once he's tired of getting his butt kicked throughout town on his Hero Splendor.

Quite a strong mouthfeel, takes the bite away from the Biryani that you're eating. I recently had the 500ml can with amazing roadside biryani in Ghaziabad. The can will set you back by 90 rupees.

This beer is impossible to drink once it has lost its fizz and that can be rather quick if you're a slow drinker. It tastes like elephant piss soon afterwards. So be careful of that. The first time I had this beer was in Pune and it made me awfully sleepy. Maybe that's what makes this beer work for the their Splendor-riding clientele. Worth a try or two definitely, its a decent brew. Cheers!
