Commercial Description:
The very first US Commercially Brewed Batch of KVASS - a Russian "Bread Beer", brewed from 30 loaves of stale Rye Bread, malted Barley, malted Rye, and some Brown Malt. The whole idea for this beer came from Tom Baker of Heavyweight Brewing. The second batch used 100 loaves of bread and was fermented by a tiny amount of dry bread yeast. This will be the listing for all subsequent batches of Kvass, and currently holds the ratings for Session Ales #5 and #8.

Draft at capones. Hazy blond beer with no head. Aroma is rye, bready grainy corn. Some spices and a bit funky.

Tap at Capones. Pours a wierd blonde, hazy, peachy hints, fizzy and almost no head. Aroma has some DMS, a wierd but nice lactic almost lemony bacteria- reminiscent of a berliner weisse or even Lambic. Very light on the rye- light spicy, lactic sour flavor, citrus and lemony notes with some farmhouse funk. Nice easy drinking sour funky beer- I liked it a lot, but Im not sure how much of a kvass this is.

Sampled on draft at Capones. Citrus and rye aroma with a hazy orange pour. Mouth feel was watery and didn’t seem to have anything really standing out for me. Kind of like a flat wheat beer. It was just ok for me. The finish was kind of nasty.

If it wasnt for being really unique, this would have gotten a much lower rating. I didnt liek this beer at all

Tap at Capone’s. Pours out a muddy slightly orange/copper color with a small off white lacing head. Aroma is sour, with notes of spice, fruit and slight rye. Taste is refreshing with an upfront sourness that fades into rye, citrus and slight yeasty spice. Interesting beer, glad I got the chance to try it.
