500ml can from TBS in Moscow. Pours clear gold with a thin white head. Aroma is grain, minerals, malt. Taste is light sweet, stamp glue, grain, watery. Empty finish. Highly carbonated. Really light bodied.

Can. Right after drain-pouring the British version. You know I am not expecting all that much. Kind os strange deep gold with hints of salmon pink, and again a shite head. Aroma is lemon candy, phenols, apple. Not nice. Flavor is worse. Again, nothing approaching what any beer in my life has tasted like. A candy cocktail. At least the body on this is reasonable and somewhat lightly fizzy. But it sucks. A freaking disgrace.

Can. Ok. Got this cheap-ass 3rd category so-called Pale Ale finally, after searching for about 2 weeks. I am sure I will not be impressed, but got to give it a shot. About ¥150 after tax. Nose is thin and watery, with grains, light caramel, and light, grassy, vaguely British hops. Color is a clear amber-brown with a low head that looked nice at first but quickly dissipated. Pretty dark for the style. Then again, what is the style? Flavor is nothing like beer. Candy, apple, caramel, wtf? Not sure what this tastes resembles, but it isn't a British ale. Spritzy and thin. Kind of sucks. I mean, it is drinkable if you imagine it's not beer but never again and the rest will quickly find the drain.

My can is blue vice red and clocks in at 5.0% not 5.5%. Medium golden with a fuzzy white head. Sweet with lingering fake sweetener. Medium bodied. Bland with an annoying finish.
