Tasting Notes

Colour & Appearance
Golden amber, clear
Nose & Aroma
Clean malt sweetness, a refined alcoholic warmth, minimal harshness
Palate & Taste
Full-bodied but notably smoother than typical Indian strong beers, with a more refined malt character that avoids the cloying sweetness or rough alcohol burn common in the value strong beer segment. This refinement is the core of BeeYoung's pitch to drinkers
Finish
Medium-long, smooth with controlled warmth rather than a harsh alcohol bite

History & Background

BeeYoung was founded in 2018 by Abhinav Jindal under Kimaya Himalayan Beverages, built on the specific premise of bringing genuine craft brewing technique to the strong beer category, a segment that had historically prioritised cheap volume over quality. The beer uses water from the Bhakra Dam region in Himachal Pradesh as part of its brewing identity. It has gone on to win gold and silver medals at the European Beer Challenge, Asia Beer Challenge and World Beer Awards, an unusual level of international recognition for an Indian strong beer, and built distribution across Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Punjab and Chandigarh.
