This beer is light on the palate, has a fresh and pleasant aroma, with subtle bitter notes; it is an excellent choice for traditional Russian cuisine.
Its distinguishing feature is that it is brewed in compliance with the traditional Soviet recipe and national standards of the Soviet times.

It is a basical lager with few aromas, watery, some malt and hop, nothing exciting but it is not bad with grenadine syrup, 09.07.17, at Prélaz, finding it in one Russian shop at Paris.

Overly sweet malt flavor. Heavy carbonation, the specific carbonation and overall mouthfeel is reminiscent of a corn syrup soft drink, very artificial.

Bottle from Mix Markt Hůrka. Another green bottle Zhiguli... oh joy. Y so brewed at Tula I geuss. 4.5%, Zhigulevskoye Firmennoe Svezhe, 4.5%. Clear pale golden body, white head, gone soon. Urgh... very fruity aroma, perfumey dried fruit, bit stale, later buttery touches. Lean, stale taste, cardboard, lightly salty, minerally. Nice body, lean, soft, but the taste is sub par by all means. Leaves a vaaaaague citric feeling, but damn, this is bad.

Nothing wrong for the style. A bit skunked because of the green bottle. But still flavourful, clean, light and crisp. Decent hop presence.dresden russian supermarket

# 627; 1/2017. Nevýrazný, hnusný pivo plné vad. Maltózové, zanechávající pocit slizskosti v ústech.
