Hunter Refreshing Strong Premium Beer
Hunter4.7(980 reviews)
Hunter Refreshing Strong Premium Beer is a bold, high-gravity lager crafted by Som Distilleries & Breweries Ltd. Designed for the Indian palate that favors strong, impactful brews, it stands out by maintaining a surprisingly crisp and refreshing profile. Brewed using imported German Hersbrucker hops, it pours a clear golden yellow with a respectable white head. The aroma is grainy and slightly sweet, with a hint of earthy hops. On the palate, it delivers a robust malt backbone with a noticeable alcoholic warmth, balanced by a clean, mildly bitter finish that masks the potent 7.5% ABV exceptionally well. It is a highly satisfying, premium strong beer perfect for unwinding or pairing with heavily spiced Indian cuisine.

Origin: India
India
The subcontinent has evolved into a global powerhouse of premium spirits, blending ancient distillation heritage with state-of-the-art master craftsmanship. From high-altitude Himalayan spring waters to coastal barrels in Goa, India's intense tropical climate accelerates oak extraction and barrel aging dynamically. This creates bold, robustly complex, and deeply spiced spirits with rich profiles in a fraction of the time required in cooler European climates.

“Hunter Strong is our absolute favorite go-to beer for weekend adda sessions! Picked up a few chilled 650ml bottles from a local off-shop for ₹110. The 7.5% ABV gives a solid kick, but it doesn't have that harsh metallic taste you get with other strong beers. Paired it with some Goan-style Chicken Cafreal and it was perfect!”

“If you want a strong beer that is actually refreshing, this is it. It pours a nice clear golden color and has a surprisingly crisp finish thanks to the German hops they use. We had it alongside some spicy Pork Choriss from Tito's Lane, and the malty sweetness cut through the spices brilliantly. Highly recommended for Goa evenings.”

“Great value for money! For just ₹110, Hunter provides a potent, premium strong beer experience. It's much smoother than its competitors. Had a couple of cans during a cricket match screening at home with friends, served with spicy Goa choris pao. It's definitely my top choice for a strong lager in Goa.”
