Poured a medium gold color with a modest head and some light lacing. Mild aroma, fresh, lightly spicy. Light bodied, softly malty and very drinkable with a recognizable hop presence and touch of fruitiness. Had a little more body to it than a typical BMC etc- no barnburner but it seemed well made and went down pretty good. Best by-back label.

Looks and smells like any ole beer. Head is terrible...but then you get to the beer and things get better. Smooth, unassuming beer - very drinkable at any time.

Lightly yeasty aromas with a hint of... bubblegum? Large fizzy white head reduced to a literal "scum" in a couple of minutes. Medium bodied, slightly bitter with metallic afters. Not very appealing.

Appearance was of a dull yellow, as was taste, could think of a few basement bargians to beat this. Had slightly metallic taste. Hardly worth what the LCBO charged for it.

Bright gold body with a foithy white head. Strong malty aroma of carrots and even some onions. Lots of bread. The mouthfeel is light with plenty of carbonation. Tastes are honey, bread and celery. A light bell pepper and apple core finish. Best by May 16, 2005.

The best part about this beer is that it is smooth and sweet. The downside is that it is a bit wobbly and unbalanced. As a sidenote, the number 3 on it apparently denotes darkness. The higher the number, the darker the beer (at least, according to my dad).

Last and saddest of the 10 commie Lagers at the LCBO. Pours a very protirelin hazed pale straw color...small cap, moderate lace. Aroma: again with the veggies!!! what is this with the Ruski brews?....they got no barley??? >grainy corn tastes, weak body, sweet, fast finish no hops to speak of....bad beer..leave it on the shelf...it’s obscene cheap commie slop like this retails for over 2 dollars in Canada.

This truly is a happy beer. Call me crazy, but if you’re gonna give this beer an 11%--go drink something else and send your bottles to me. A very complex, yet subtle brew, this beer is golden with a quickly dissipating white head. It has a very floral nose with a golden strawy taste, mixed with hops and malts. A very nice beer--quite quaffable. I could drink many of these and would, if they were available in Birmingham or Memphis. Great beer!
