COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
When Germans and Russians raised their glasses in a Munich Bierkeller in 1919 and the casks went dry, they extended their evening and their Weizen beer with lemonade. A delicious outrage was developed under the name "Russ" as an original Bavarian beergarden specialty.

The bottle looks a little bit old, the beer in the glass is okay. Tastes very fruity and fresh, not too sweet and chemical. Good beer!

Koelschtrinker (7034) - Köln (Cologne), North Rhine-Westphalia, GERMANY - JUN 21, 2011
Auch in meiner Flasche ist Hefe am Boden vorhanen. Die Zitronenlimonade kommt in gutem Maße zum Vorschein, im Mittelteil mehr, zum Abgang hin weniger und klingt gut und lange aus. Das Bier kommt in leichtem Maße zum Vorschein und ist durchaus gelungen, vergleicht man es mit anderen Biermischgetränken. Als Erfrischung im Sommer gut zu gebrauchen. Test vom 23.4.2006, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 12,12,12,9,4,11 - 10,75

yngwie (9175) - Kristiansand, NORWAY - MAR 25, 2010
Bottle, courtesy of fonefan. A pale golden beer topped by a creamy, off-white head. Banana, bubblegum and lemon on the nose. Sweet, sugary flavor with banana, bubblegum and lemon, leading to a finish tasting like artificial lemon. Medium body with a decent effervescency. There’s too much bubblegum here, else it at least refreshing. Can’t imagine myself drinking much of this stuff though. 091025

Bottle, 2.7%. Lemonade aroma, seems more rounded than the ones mixed with lager. Hazy pale yellow colour. Nice stable creamy white head. Extremely sweet flavour. Sugary. Good wheat mouthfeel.

bmxutos (161) - Lisboa, PORTUGAL - OCT 8, 2006
Bottle, 50cl. The label is strange, with two girls whispering something to each other behind a slice of a lemon!!! A very nice drink this Russ. Smooth and refreshing, it seems like a mixture between a weizenbier and a lemonade (50% of each). Pale yellow colour (hazy) with a good white head, creamy and consistent. Good carbonation. Lemony aroma with some yeast also present, typical in a wheat beer. Flavour is very refreshing and not too much sweet (just with a hint of lemon). Light body. A very good drink although not "completely" a beer.

UPDATED: DEC 27, 2008 For those non-Germans in the audience, a Russ is like a Radler except a Weizen beer is used. Aroma is only of the lemonade (Sprite/Mountain Dew). Color light yellow. Flavor primarily of lemon soda with the merest hint of the Weizen. This is a good thirst quencher but not much in the way of beer flavor.
