Bottle share courtesy of Osprey. Pours mahogany brown and no condition whatsoever. Smells of bread and malts. Sweetness on the taste like a poor mans brioche. Not the best but a Belarus rate

Taste comprises sweet licks, brown sugar, pinch of spice, hint of cocoa. Light body, fine carbonation, sweet licks in the close. Solid for style.

Bottle share at Mr Smith’s Stratoflat. Thanks to Dan for this one that comes with the added bonus of being a country tick. I would normally not rate such a low alcohol beer, but this is the best Kvass I’ve come across, so making an exception here. Clear deep amber beer, decent pale tan head. Sweet malts and maple on the nose. Palate is light and semi dry and has enough fine carbonation to lift the beer above the normal Kvass mess. Pretty sweet malts bring a fruity caramel. Mild bread and cinnamon. Trace of sherry vinegar. Light crispy finish. A perfectly drinkable Kvass and thus something of a novelty!

1.5L plastic bottle shared in London - thanks to Daniel. Pours clear copper-red with a creamy tan head. The nose has puréed raisins. Caramel, berries, prunes. Medium sweet flavor with more raisins, brown bread, toffee, prune, dates. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Sugary finish, more raisins, caramel, brown bread, brown sugar, berries, very slight tang, toffee. Great stuff. Sweet but never cloying. World-class kvass.

Big dirty plastic bottle. It pours clear deep brown with and light tan head. The nose is sweet, malt loaf, dried fruits, cardboard, malt extract and Earth. The taste is sweet, sticky, caramelised stuff, toffee, mild acidity, malt loaf, maple syrup, glacé cherry, and sweet tangerine with a short finish. Light body and average carbonation. As good as a kvass gets.

Bottle 500 ml. Brownish-amber with orange color, very good creamy foam. Aroma: lightest smoke, banana, fruit and weizen yeast, caramel, a little dried fruit and spices. Taste: sparkling, with noticeable acidity of weizen yeast, light caramel sweetness, banana, wheat bread, pear, a little cloves. Very drinkable, crisp and very impressive.
