A strong lager beer with a taste close to classic lager varieties. The flavor is light and there is a suggestion of malt, together with sweetish notes and mild hops bitterness.

450ml bottle at home. Pours yellow gold, thin white head. Aroma of sweet corn, maybe honey, some floral notes. Taste is sweeter than expected, again with sweet corn, biscuit, no booziness which is interesting. Doesn’t drink like an 8% beer, drinks like a normal full flavored lager.

From a 500ml bottle on 113/2018. My first Russian beer, bought only because I was curious about the 8%. Pours a clear light golden with a smallish head. The nose is a barely perceptible sweet malt. The taste has a bit more to it - a bit malty and quite sweet, with the most muted bitterness at the back. The texture is a just a touch syrupy and the carbonation bordering on average. Not exactly a taste sensation but the alcohol gives it a little something to bring it above a standard pale lager.

Light malt aroma. Clear pale gold color, short medium white head. Light sweet and bitter, some sweet aftertaste, alcohol notes. Thin to medium body, a little sticky. Like a common lager, only a little stronger.

450ml bottle into shaker. From bottle shop in Beverly Hills, NSW. Clear amber beer with small foamy white head which becomes a film on top. No lacing. Medium carbonation. Smells of berries and malt. Full body, smooth texture. More berries, more malt in the flavour and alcohol really noticeable in the finish. Harsh but goes well with the Vietnamese chili sauce I'm cooking with at the moment.
