1.4 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 5/20
Flest färglagda länder på Ratebeer när hen dör vinner. Om det är livsmottot är Obolon Magnat en viktig fjäder i hatten. "Jag ska måla hela världen, lilla mamma", och nu ska du få höra: jag rollade precis över 600 000 kvadratkilometer grått östblock. Varför jag tassar så varsamt kring ölets eventuella förtjänster? Tja, för att inte väcka den magsura kritiker som just nu är på gott humör efter att ha plockat en skalp till samlingen.
2.4 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 8/20
Half liter bottle - pours straw with white head. Nose is grass and sweet corn. Flavor adds corn. Lightly sweet and slightly hoppier. Not offensive but seemingly watered down. Easy to drink.
2.3 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
Bottle shared with McTapps. Just another Russian lager. Bit pissy with some syrup in the taste and aroma. Well, drinkable at all.
2.2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
Bottle shared with MichaelBruch. Tastes and looks like any other Pale Lager of the world, just nothing good or special.
3.2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
A finger of head on a hazy, medium straw colored body. It looks better than most.
The aroma is a dirty barnyard, a little musty grain. Not offensive but not good either.
The taste has a medium bitterness throughout and finishes on a sweet note. A nice and simple profile.
The texture is crisp with a bit too much carbonation.
I still put this above average. I could see myself throwing these down in some small, southern Ukrainian town... come to think of it, I have.
2.5 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
Clear gold with a good, long-lasting 1" foam head. Streaks of lace. Light malt is complemented by floral hops - both move straight to the finish in an easy, unassuming manner. This is a simple drink, straight-forward and drinkable.

500ml bottle. Worst beer I’ve had. Pours an off yellow - nothing new there.However, the smell honestly made me gag. Tastes acrid.
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Very malty and dry lager. Extremely dry finish. Clear golden color with fine carbonation supporting a silky head.
2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
Bottle from Russian shop near Artis, Amsterdam. Golden body with thin head. Nose is corny, malty, yeasty. semi-sweet. Taste is watery, paper, corn, malts. Texture is syrupy and sticky. Okay.
2.4 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
Bottle. Pours clear with a stable white head. Light golden colour. hoppy and citric aroma with a touch of metal. Rather watery. Tastes of hop and leaves a dryish aftertaste with a metallic finish. Not a masterpiece, but I have tasted worse things.
