Fizzy carbonation with small bubbles. sweet aroma rather than the stale one I expected. Sweet taste as well as being quite malty, with only a light bitterness. Finally a good beer from Russia. Must be the proximity. Drew (2411), Kent, Ohio, USA

Hey, it’s an 8 - haven’t had this one yet! A nice wheat beer - my favorite part of this one was the contrast of the full soft carbonation versus the lemony zing of flavor - I liked it a bunch!

Good spice in the nose...corriander and citrus, just like a good weizen should! Wow, a decent German beer.....from Russia! Best Russian brewed beer I’ve had. HermanW (647), Coevorden, Netherlands

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Nov 13, 2007 Golden pour with frothy head. Nose of wheat and spiced bananas. Taste is banana, clove, wheat and malts. I was surprised by this, as I haven’t been impressed by their other beers thus far. detroiter (958), Euphoria, Minnesota, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jan 27, 2007 Split into two pint glasses, it originally poured a deep yellow - very clear - with a good three inches of thick fluffy foam. Then when I got down to near the bottom of the bottle, I stirred up the yeast and poured that into one of the pint glasses. Now it is a hazy straw color. Light clove and banana in the aroma.
The first sip started out great. Lots of yeasty bready wheat beer. Lots of clove and banana. Unfortunately, those tastes were fleeting. I caught them being prominent at first, and then slipping into near-nothing. A hint of lemon in the aftertaste, but not much. Good soft carbonation, but the mouthfeel was a little on the thin side. goozen (1151), Leiden, Netherlands

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Nov 13, 2006 Cloudy, light gold color with a medium-dense white foamy head. Classic wheat ale aroma with notes of lemony tartness. Light body--typical of the style--with a nice grain presence and very low hop bitterness. Good esters from this particular yeast.
