One of the options on the Russian river boat MS Taras Shevchenko cruising down the Dnieper. I had a few 500ml bottles as a partner to lunch and dinner. Clear, light golden body with a lasting, lacing head. Mild grass-floral aroma. Perfumed taste of pale malty sweetness followed by a few hints of hops. Smooth, clean and food friendly. Reasonably alright industrial lager (Dnieper River, Ukraine, mid-July 09).

Very pale and light, slight pepper aroma. Better bitterness than its cousins, but nothing to write home about.

Bottle, 4.8%. Almost clear yellow colour. Big stable white head. The flavour is mildly malty. Has a little paper. Low bitterness. Quite boring, but clean.

I - and my lovely girlfriend - greatly enjoyed this beer. For me, it took me back to a short trip to Eastern Europe, where I drank many beers in this style. For her, it reminded her of home. We had this beer out of the bottle, so I have no comment about head or color. The smell is malty. It tasted good with a slightly sweet finish. We shared this beer on Brighton Beach, right near "Little Russia." They have a great selection of beers there and I can’t wait to return.
