a pale yellow, with a nice head. a bit hoppy in the nose. mild taste, some grains and hops in the flavor. but when this is all you have to drink in moscow in february perhaps you think it is better than it really is (being drunk in moscow in february is a KGB requirement, i think). it finishes a bit like Bud. i’m pretty sure the low ratings are due to not understanding the russian soul. read some dostoyevsky. having said all that, i understand my love of this beer has more to do with my experiences than with the quality of the beer.

Bouteille de 500 ml. La bière se présente avec une couleur or clair et un col de mousse moyen qui reste. Au nez on respire des arômes de maïs et de céréales. En bouche le corps est moyen avec une effervescence moyenne. On goûte des saveurs douces de céréales avec une finale très peu amère.

This is pretty decent for a lager. It’s definitely got the Eastern European thing going on. Not much flavor except for a tangy bitterness, which is better than nothing and more profound than most lagers. Great for a lager, just fair overall.

Pours piss yellow into a shaker. White sickly head. Macro adjunct aromas. Sweet and crisp upfront, turns cloying in the finish. Unpleasant.
