At a tasting, thanks, small bubbly head, clear dark red to brown color, aroma of brown bread and prunes, some candy drops and a whiff of wood, flavor of brown bread and light raisins, lightish bitterness. Not too good, too much like a kvass.

Smell - weak, hops, malt. Foam - medium large, thin, to the watery side, but not really watery, some weak weak caramel and bitterness for tongue, cream yellow, brownish color. Appearance - clear, medium dark, red, orange, brown, blood amber. Taste - light, some caramel, some weak citrus, weak roast, little to no bitterness, Surprisingly refreshing and easy drinking, I really like this one.

500ml bottle. Pours red-brown with a small head. Faint aroma of caramel and raisins. Sweetish metallic caramel taste and some roastiness - some heavy kvas influence here.
