Thanks omhper! Deep amber colour, huge foamy beige head, which leaves some lace. Aroma is grainy, some earthy, some toffee and a bit salty tones. Flavour is rye, grains, some mild herbal, earthy and a bit grassy bitterness to it.

Bottled. Clear mahogany colour, mid sized head. Kvass-like raisiny dark bread aroma. Sweet with light to medium body and clean, rounded mouthfeel. Raisins, brown sugar and dark rye bread. Spicy finish with low bitterness. Interesting, for a Cesu.

50cl bottle from SuperAlko, Ainaži. Pours dark brown to mahogany coloured with a modest, slightly tanned head. Bready and kvass-like with dark rye bread aromas dominating. Sweet, malty and surprisingly thin mouthfeel. Somewhat interesting and fairly drinkable.

Õlle on selline jook, et iga uus kord kui klaasi või pudeli suule tõstad, siis leiad midagi uut, sõltuvalt tuhandest-miljonist pisiasjast, mis hetke olukorda mõjutavad. Seega piirdun iga õlle juures selle tekstiga.

Smell-weak, malt. Foam- malty, rye, kvass, sweet-ish. Head is a medium-sized, light brown color. From - snifter Appearance - brewer bottle cap, simple label. Clear ruby color, medium carbonation, quite dark. Taste - malty, sweet, kvass, rye, bread. Pretty much what you would expect from regular kvass. Not bad actually, if you like Kvass this will probably be fine with you. Still lacking to be great, but it's a start. Definitely more Kvass than beer. Quick rerate: Smells even more like kvass. Maybe I was thirsty but increased the score from 3.0 to 3.3
