500mL bottle, pours a clear amber with a small beige hea. Aroma brings out light toasted malt, not much else. Flavour is restrained, with toasted malt, a hint of caramel, and some red berries. Far from a stout, obviously, with a very light palate and little depth. It's pleasant for a red ale. Okay.

500mL bottle, pours black with a reddish tint and a small beige head. Nose brings out dark dried fruits, some caramel, and bready malt - but the whole thing smells rather cheap. Flavour is very malty, with dark dried fruits, caramel and bready malt. Sweet, fruity, with a dark dried fruity finish. Not too bad, especially for the price point, but it's far from a complex strong porter.

PET 2L. Cheap raw malts, husky astringency, not much hops, a little bit of booze getting in. A cheap industrial supermarket beer. Still, drinkable.

2L bottle, courtesy of dnicolaescu (thanks Dorin!), pours a clear pale golden yellow with a small white head. Aroma smells like nasty cheap lager, with skunky cabbage and vegetal notes. Flavour is likewise very cheap, with boiled vegetables, straw and light skunk cabbage. A cheap, haphazardly brewed industrial lager. Quite poor.

Pale lager from Belarus, from a 50 cl (glass) bottle. Thick and frothy but large-bubbled and eventually dissolving, snow white head over a cristal clear, pure straw blonde beer with fierce sparkling. Aroma of damp kitchen towels, plaster, soggy bird seed, wet paper, sugarcorn, minerals, rubber. Sweet corny graininess, thin and slick mouthfeel, sharp minerally carbonation; the sweet graininess, with a sourish edge to it, is simply continued over the whole length of the beer, the only additions being a late touch of grassy hop bitterness all the way at the back, and something plastic-like in the finish. Your standard industrial pale lager, crisp, minerally, neutral and simple but 'clean' and quenching so not the worst in its kind - though I probably could have picked something else than an industrial eastern European pale lager for my 6K...
