Tap, 21.jun.2010. Pours a clear deep golden colour, wiht small white head that leaves a beautiful lacework pattern on the glass. Aroma of sweet hops, like a fresh field of grass. Rather similar in taste. But the palate was really weak and watered. After crossing the Transdniestrian border, then doing Tiraspol in a few hours, it felt really great to sit down in a café, have some food and a cold beer, though!

Draft. Served at a Baltika stand at the Ploschad Vasstanniya in front of the Moscow train station. This turns out to be a pretty good beer. The draft was pulled at the end of the keg, so we had an overly fluffy head to deal with But finally it resolved to a nice pilsner color. Taste was in favor of its toasty malt over a notably Czech hop profile. A mostly okay beer. This appears to be an "extension" of the Baltika brand; their website lists a few other varieties of the Arsenalnoye beers.
