Tap, 21.jun.2010. Pours a clear deep golden colour, wiht small white head that leaves a beautiful lacework pattern on the glass. Aroma of sweet hops, like a fresh field of grass. Rather similar in taste. But the palate was really weak and watered. After crossing the Trans­dniestrian border, then doing Tiraspol in a few hours, it felt really great to sit down in a café, have some food and a cold beer, though!

Horrible lager, i bought it for 1dl , golden color, aroma like potato, no good flavour.

Thanks to ghawener. Poorly made beer. Very sweet with a little bit of skunk. It seems they use very cheap ingredients.

Bottle: How did this get to Cuernavaca, Mexico? Is there potato in it? Watery and stale, thin, arghhh.

Bottled. Deep golden, airy head. Sweet and fruity. Medium bodied. Simplistic and sketchy.No bitterness. Poorly made inustrial lager.

light golden color, very watery, cardboard flavour. With even the low alcohol coming through. Shit

NIce malty flavour. I like the foam and the not so pale colour. NOt so hopy which is good for me and not boring.

Draft. Served at a Baltika stand at the Ploschad Vasstanniya in front of the Moscow train station. This turns out to be a pretty good beer. The draft was pulled at the end of the keg, so we had an overly fluffy head to deal with But finally it resolved to a nice pilsner color. Taste was in favor of its toasty malt over a notably Czech hop profile. A mostly okay beer. This appears to be an "extension" of the Baltika brand; their website lists a few other varieties of the Arsenalnoye beers.

A sour, tasteless, watery international standard lager which the Russians have thirteen on a dozen.

Golden. Sour aroma. Good old cereal International Standard Lager flavor with no bitterness.
