(Plastic bottle 200 cl) Actually comes as "Gubernija Zhigulevskoe Svetloe Pivo" in cyrillic letters - I reckon it’s this one (although I absolutely don’t understand the high US ratings!). Anyways, this pours slightly hazy golden with a tiny, unclean head. Odd aroma of vegetables, but not completely unpleasant. Medium body, a little flat in the mouthfeel - like most plasticbottled beers. Sweet accents of brewing cereal, a little cardboard and then a rough bitterness. Truly a relic from an ancient Soviet era. 301107

Bottle. The label says "Weissbier" under the beer’s name. Hazy pale yellow color with a big white head. Aroma of malt, notes of hops and faint hints of wheat. Flavor has some sweetish malt and some sourish citric wheat. Light-bodied. More pale-lager-ish than a hefeweizen but has a bit of wheat beer character. not good, but drinkable. (Note: the importer’s hebrew back label says this beer contains 1.9% ABV, but the label has a lot of typing errors so I don’t really trust it.)

500ml bottle at Chris Shindig. Gold, lasting white head. Really bad candy sugar, sweetness. Some kind of kiddie sweet, very corny, awful.

Bottled. A hazy amber beer with no head. The aroma is sweet and dominated by malt, while the flavor is sweet malty with notes of caramel. And it has a good body.

Bottled. A yellow beer with a white head. The aroma is sweet malty with notes of straw, and so is the flavor. Nothing special.

(50 cl bottle at Le Baron, Göteborg) Distinct acidic malty scent. Clear straw yellow color, white lasting head. Smell is also a bit fruity. Sweet malty and a fruity mix taste. Rather high bitterness. Sweet aftertaste. Medium mouthfeel.
