Single from Three Cellars Milwaukee. A Pretty straight forward Pale. I would have mistook it for a American Macro. Clear body with a lot of carbonation and a lacing.

0,5 l bottle at Cardinal, Stavanger - shared with Roger. Clear golden color, ok but disappering white head. Aroma is malt with some sweetness. Flavor is malty sweetness and some hoppy bitterness. Easy drinking beer.

Bottle. Barely-there aroma, surprising considering the relative pleasantness effusing from the 2. Really, almost nothing there - maybe a touch of vomit? Clear golden body with a lot of carbonation and a lacing, rocky/soapy white head. Thin body with very thin flavor - thin malt, thin grainy taste, touch of tartness, mild sweetness. Pleasant and inoffensive, not cloying or too dirty, just nothing here.

Very light grain aroma. Clear golden color with a small white head. Light yeast flavor in the beginning with a mild sweet finish. Palate stays with you.

Bottled 50cl. 5.1 ABV. It pours a very pale yellow beer with a quick diminishing white head. The nose is malty. Metallic with notes of vegetables and banana. The taste is mainly of hay. Some wheat. Malty. Easy drinkable. Watery. It reminds me a bit of malt liquor, much more light bodied though. Poor lacing. Some sweetness. Terribly boring.

Straw gold body, chunky white head. Aroma is grassy and sweet. Flavor is mostly sour malts and adjunct sweetness; very little hoppiness. I guess this is the Russian Bud; nothing I’d seek out but certainly not terrible.

My go to beer while in Russia! Enjoyed while in Moscow in 2002, and enjoying again here in Astrakhan in 2008. This will no doubt be a biased rating due to my fond memories associated with this beer. Pours clear and very light yellow, with a small foamy head that actually leaves a bit of lace. Aroma is fairly non-existent, but there is a glimpse of hops there, I swear. Flavor is also a tiny bit of hops, with some slight maltiness. Generally devoid of anything representing character or flavor. Even thought its available back home, I’d only buy this in Russia where there are literally no other choices offering a better experience. Vodka anyone?
