330ml bottle. Pours very pale yellow with no head. Candy-like apple juice aroma. Taste is more or less the same. Only a very small hint of cider, the rest is just sweetness.

330ml bottle. Pours very pale yellow with no head at all. Aroma of sweet honey, flowers and very faint apple. Flavour is honey. Refreshing and different to what I would usually expect from mead.

700ml bottle. Pours pale yellow with no head. Aroma is pear juice. Taste is sweet, pear. Tiny amount of bitterness in the finish. Low carbonation. Not awful. And at 140 roubles it’s good value. Surprised that this hasn’t been banned along with Ukrainian beer and vodka.

700ml bottle. Cork is a bitch to remove. Pours pale yellow with no head. I assumed that I had bought a sweet and candy-like cider, but it turns out that this brewery makes semi-sweet (pale yellow label) and a demi-sec (pale green label). Aroma is green apples. Well carbonated. Taste is dry, slighlty sour, low sweetness.

Very pale colour, minimal head demenishing in some seconds. Nose of green apples with a hint of yeast. Light body. Thin. Apply flavour. No pear to be detected. A hint of bitterness.

Golden colour with a tiny white head. Fruity and sweet honey aroma. Flavour are about thea same. Not to sweet actually. And a fine carbonation that made it quite fresh. Warmind alcohol. Not sticky.
