Aug 27, 2009 500ml bottle (Best Before: 09.12.09) and served in a pint glass. Poured a crystal clear golden hue with a two-finger thick head of lasting off-white foam. A decent amount of chunky lace was left around the glass. The aroma included sweet pale malt, grass, and hay. The flavor had sweet malt, bread, light grassy hops, and some hay. Medium-bodied with light carbonation. Much better body and a more manageable level of carbonation than most American macros. Better than expected. It actually has a little flavor.

Aug 26, 2009 Clear yellow beer poured with a fluffy white head and a light malt aroma. There is very little favor of any sort, but I think I detect a little banana ester and slight hop bitterness.

Jul 24, 2009 One of the options on the Russian river boat MS Taras Shevchenko cruising down the Dnieper. I had a few 500ml bottles as a partner to lunch and dinner. Clear, light golden body with a lasting, lacing head. Mild grass-floral aroma. Perfumed taste of pale malty sweetness followed by a few hints of hops. Smooth, clean and food friendly. Reasonably alright industrial lager (Dnieper River, Ukraine, mid-July 09).

Jul 19, 2009 Very pale and light, slight pepper aroma. Better bitterness than its cousins, but nothing to write home about.

Jul 18, 2009 Crystal blonded bodied with thick, airy, poofy head. Clean whiff of pilsen malt that is light and refreshing. Ok, so far. Flavor is also clean, crisp, and refreshing. Light-bodied maltiness with a clean finishing sweetness. A surprisingly well-crafted Russian lager. Clean and refreshing stuff for those warmer weather days.

Jul 17, 2009 This poured with a clear, medium gold colour and lots of carbonation bubbles, as well as a generous foamy white heat. Aroma was hopped and floral. Taste was something else, mostly bitter to the point of being almost sour. I really didn’t care for this one.

Jul 16, 2009 Oh my is Russian beer bad. Seriously the best beer for drinking after school, the worst for anything else. Its like shitty American macro-pales. Its gets points for being dirt cheap.

Jul 8, 2009 500ml Bottle - Golden with a white head. Malty aroma with a hint of corn. Malty and slightly sweet, with grain and very little bitterness.
