Bolshaya Kruzhka has a classical, time-proved taste bringing back memories of the legendary beer that was so popular in Russia more than 20 years ago.

The beer recipe is based on classical ingredients: water, barley, hops and malt. Maize grits and caramel malt give Bolshaya Kruzhka its nice golden colour and slightly sweet taste.

1.5l plastic bottle from a local Russian supermarket. Clear golden yellow, very stable and large white head. Fruity nose. Light-bodied, malty base with hints of apples, shy hops with a touch of cardboard and a touch of old fruit. Nevertheless quite drinkable.

Can 500ml (Stockmann Tallinn) as "Big Mug Amber"
Pale yellow color, mostly vanishing white head. Light grainy and cardboardish aroma. LIght to medium-bodied. Sweet honeyish, kind of cidery flavor. Oily palate. Short finish. Not terrible, but nothing to drink another time.

Can. As "Big Mug Amber Beer". Clear golden with a small, quickly-dissipating white head. Aroma has some graininess, light corny hints, a bit of malt, hay and light hoppiness with faint metallic hints. Flavor starts with light sweetness, with a bit of grainy and corny notes, and continues drier with some bitterness in the finish. Light-bodied. Pretty clean and not too offensive, but still not so fun to drink.
