Drank under the name Zhigulevskoe Russkoe Svetloe Pivo without any reference to the actual brewery, bottled for a German importer Pale gold with cold haze; well carbonated; irregular, snowwhite head. Milky, faint grassy, and slightly, well, a bit rotten, really. It’s not completely forbidding, but all the same. There’s something (shell)fishy, salty in the nose too - getting worse warming up. Grainy taste, and a bit bitterish-vegetable. Much more classic, even dry taste than the smell would suggest. Sweetness is way more restrained. I’d hesitate to call it hoppy, but it shows some effort. Light body, quite carbonated. Aftertaste slightly metallic. Well, seen where it is supposed to hail from... there’s worse.

Bottled. Golden colour with a white head. Fruity malt aroma. Flavour is fruity malt

(Can 50 cl) Clear, pale golden with a rather thick and almost chemically white head. Weak hoppy aroma. Very light watery body with some rather brutal bittering hops in the finish. To call this a "Helles" is an insult to any German brewer. 221005
