Medium white head. Pale yellow body with light carbonation. Faint peppery aroma with mealy apple notes. Dry (and faintly acidic) papery taste with mealy straw and apple notes. Mid-to-thin body. Sharpish, chalky mouthfeel. Dry-acidic strawy papery taste with mealy notes. Harsh bitterness lingers. Really dominated by the paper. (0.33l draft, Kafé Literaturnoye, St. Petersburg.)

From bottle so hard to tell color, seems to foam well. Less bitter taste, some earthy tones present. Good for thurst (Moscow 201204)

Draft, 50 cl. Clear golden beer with medium white head. Aroma of grains, hops and malts. Taste is malty with some grassy hops, nice light bitter finish. Very refreshing beer, and drinkable, but also not more than that.

Golden pale colour, hint off grass n fruits in aroma. little bit of grass in taste. average mass lager.

Thanks to Konstantin for carrying a 500ml bottle from Archangel to the Superpower beer session part II, 29.01.09. Clear yellow amber body. Both aroma and flavour remind me of sourdough bread, I might add maize to the flavour. Thin palate and lacing.

500ml Bottle - Pale golden in colour. Malty and grassy aroma. Grassy taste with malty and a hint of citrus. Refreshing, but boring.

500ml bottle (Hell Hunt, Tallinn)
Pale pissy colour, some fizz. Rich sweet malty aroma - very lagery and plasticky. I guess it’s a pretty clean palate - certainly uncontaminated by beer. Thin hops, dry, nearly papery. Avoids nastiness fortunately. Aroma picks up sickly off fruits after a while.

UPDATED: APR 14, 2009 50 cl bottle at Hell Hunt, Tallinn, on April 12, 2009.
Twist off cap.
Clear yellow color, small white head. Malty grainy scent. Malty grainy taste, some butterscotch. Medium mouthfeel, medium bitterness.

it’s like a sweet aromatized chewing gum, sickening beer, with diminishing white head, thin body, not worth that waste words on it
