Smell- weak, maybe hops. Foam-thin, malty, waek hops and bitter tones. Head is small, white. Appearance- generic bottle cap, label inspired by America but simple. Hazy, yellow, orange-ish color, no carbonation. From - dirty pint Taste - weak hops, weak bitter tones, faint malt. Simple hops in the aftertaste. Feels like below average macro, just because it feels like not my type a bit.

Smell- weak, malt. Foam- malty, weak bitter tones, neutral. Head is medium to large, white color, orange-yellow-ish tint. Sticks. Appearance - brewer bottle cap, simple label. Clear amber, medium carbonation to high, loads of tiny bubbles. From - pint Taste - malty, sweet, weak hops, weak bitter bite, but everything is very muffled and neutral. Kind of drinkable, but that sweetness is a bit odd, ok macro.

Can from local Polish shop. Not much of an aroma here – seems to be mainly boiled cabbage ! Pours a pale straw with a decent foamy white head and some lacing. It the mouth it has a juicy texture and the first sip is fruity before sweet malts come to swamp it. Finish is sweet, but with an unpleasant metallic tang. Just a regular macro lager.

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
