Good golden color. It’s the only advantage of this drink. much cereal malt, almost nothing about hops. I’ll never have it again.

500ml bottle, bought in some corner shop in St. Petersburg, Russia and shared at Rating Session 26.Oct.2011. Straw yellow, hazy body with thin white layer on top. Some lacing. Sweet flowers, banana, nectarine, brown sugar to the nose. Tastes of yeast, bred, nutmeg and coriander, which suddenly starts to remind of envelope glue and mould. Possible to drink, but.... and the label looks great! Probably a good choice if you just want to look cool and not get drunk:-)

500ml bottle, kindly shared by Elisabeth who brought a bottle back to Tromsø from St Petersburg. Rocky white head, diminishing over a straw-yellow body with a slight haze. Pale malty aroma with notes of cat pee. Papery dry taste with sour-sweet malts. Soft carbonated. Beyond par for a Russian lager, rather dull (shared, session in Tromsø, 26.10.2011).

Bottle. Hazy yellow-tan. This has a lightly grainy aroma. Fresh mix of yeast and malts on the palate. Decent macrobrew.

Pours dark reddish brown color with tan head. Aromas of dark fruits and caramel. Similar flavors but not all that good. Totally flat, zero carbonation. Medium body. Meh. At least the bottle I came in was kind of cool looking (different than the one pictured here).
