Bottle. Aroma ismore floral, some herbal tones. Light golden color, white foam. At the beginning light malty sweet, after some hops also. Not bad.

(Bottled). Ty oh6gdx. Pale yellow color, small white head, lace. Aroma of grains, diacetyl and harsh alcoholic hay. Buttery, diacetylic, sweet malty with grassy late hop bitterness. Fizzy carbonation. Aftertaste has mostly light butter and is quite watery. Unremarkable Russian bulk lager.

UPDATED: SEP 26, 2008 Bottled at Petalax Beer Festival. Clear pale golden, rich head. Evident buttery diacetyl aroma. Sweet and medium bodied with some grass and stale butter. The diacetyl aside it’s fairly clean with a sharpish salty finish. Quite unremarkable, except for the diacetyl.

Bottled. Golden colour, small white head. Aroma is malts, diacetyl and quite eggy. Flavour is malts, some diacetyl and a bit papery dryness.

500ml bottle.
Nondescript aroma. Fizzy. Mostly bland. Slight sickly unpleasant chemical hops.

Bottled. Aroma of light skunky and herbal hops. Pale yellow color, white irregular head, few lace. Light sweet, malty, bitter and herbal hops in the flavor. Medium body and refreshing. Did go weel with baked potatoes and meatballs.
