Bottle. Veeeery pale, almost no head. Herbal aroma, watery flat taste. An american macro in the heart of Russia. The name in Russian has 2 meanings: Isolde and "made with ice".

Woo-Hoo, 4th rating ever for this beer, and first in two years to the day! Bottle, pours a clear pale yellow with a slight white head, no lacing. Aroma is light grass and citrus. Flavor is a slight hops bite, with more citrus and some grass and lemon zest. While nothing stellar by a long shot, I actually found this to be a moderately enjoyable beer.

Canned. Pale yellow in colour. Vanishing white head. There is a hoppy aroma. Quite watery this one, not all that much taste. Some malt...

Canned. Pale yellow colour, small white head. Acidic, diacetylic sweetness in aroma, along with mild maltyness. Flavour is acidic malty, with some diacetylic notes. Quite crappy stuff.

Can (brewed 09/2005)
Very pale yellow, tiny white head. Cardboard malty, lightly grassy hoppy aroma. Watery, sweet malty. More or less tasteless.
