500ml bottle from Shropshire. Vintage 1989. Zhigul Beer - Zhigulevskoye Pivo. Very flat. Hops have turned into peppery cardboard. Clean malt. Quite a savoury beer. Neutral palate. A drinkable and fairly interesting drop, though the dusty, cardboardy hops get a bit annoying. Sugary Russian tea. gets uglier the more you drink.

Jun 18, 2008 Wow. It took me three tries to find this beer. I guess I should have started at the top.

Bottle. Pours clear light gold with a fading white head. Sweet aroma, a little grainy, some corn, and floral hops. Medium body, light carbonation. Some biscuit in the taste, almost like a Pils, if not for the herbal quality. and some metal in the finish

Feb 15, 2008 Pee yellow with a giant yeasty white head. Aroma of yeast and grain. Flavor was very strong of grain. Yeast and malt permeated the experience. The palate is hit hard with these flavors and of carbonation. The alcohol content was too low to help the flavors. The experience is very similar to drinking Grolsch. This is definitely worth a try.

Nov 6, 2007 Bland and creamy with a strong malt taste. Some hops, but not enough. Not too bad overall, a decent international lager.

May 14, 2007 Pours a disturbingly unnatural glowing golden color, and remains cloudy for far too long. Tastes like Lemon Pledge, with yeast. Perhaps this is what they used to embalm Lenin. Fortunately, this flavor disappears when served with hearty (i.e. Russian) food. Not very good at all.
