This seems to be getting a huge distribution. Ogi got it somewhere in Ukraine though. Anyway, poured a tiny white head on top of a golden body. Almost no nose, slightly sweaty and grainy. Empty creamy grainy taste, very light somewhat crude notes of something that’s illegible. Meh.

New Beer Distributors, NY 50cl ($2.25): Pours a golden color with barely any head. Aroma is near nil, mostly just grain and nail polish. Taste is just pretty sweet Euro-lager. There is barely a hop to be seen. Apparently Russian hipsters drink this. I’ll take PBR over this any day.

Took a while to track the name of this beer down, but worth it. Pleasantly surprised at the overall drinkability of this Russian beer. A nice golden/coppr color with adeqaute head, and just enough sharp bitterness to make you take notice. Mild but pleasant smell also...one of the best Russian beers I’ve had.
