Mäßige Optik. Geruch dem der "Goldbiere" gleich. Im Geschmack zunächst brotig mit etwas Hopfen. Danach nichtssagender und flacher Verlauf. Das Bier prickelt zwar ganz gut, ist geschmacklich jedoch eine Niete.

Bottle. Creamy white good mostly lasting head. Yellow colour. Moderate malty and light hoppy aroma. Light bitter flavor. Short light bitter finish. Watery palate.

Bottle. Medium head with medium duration. Color is pale golden. Aroma and taste are malt, grass and hops.

Russian lager in a green bottle? Here we go again...Grainy and very skunky. My son even remarked, " I can smell it from over here". Slightly milky amber, headless. Weak, but doesn’t taste as skunky as it smells. Light sweet malt, grain, a little grass. Typical foreign lager, surprisingly clean. Pretty good for what it is, actually. I really wanted to rate this higher, but perspective is an important consideration.

Bottle. Golden beer wtih a white head. Light mineral and light grass aroma. Light mineral and light malt flavor with light hay. Medium bodied. Light hay and light malt lingers with light citrus.

Bottle: Pale golden to golden, quickly collapsing fluffy white head; mineral water, wet cardboard and some lost sweet grains in the nose; very delicate bitter-sweet flavour, watery MF; mineral-water, cardboard and a well hidden bitterness in the quick finish. Gorgeous drainpour, as brewed by the soviets themselves....

2/28/11. Bottle... drank 2-8 in order. Clear golden pour with a huge eggshell head that sticks. Sweet grainy aroma with a hint of skunk and a sweet, light malty flavor with some corniness, dry grain, and a metallic watery finish.

500 ml Bottle in Germany. Golden color with a soft white head. Caramel malty, grass aroma. A sweet malty, straw, light hop taste almost like and NA. Light body with a sweet NA type Palate. Blah
