500ml on tap at Kholostyak in Saratov. Pours pale yellow with a tall white head. Aroma is grainy, white bread. Taste is light to medium sweet. There's nothing weizen or wit about it, except the colour (looks like a witbier). It's basically like one of those Russian regional attempts to make a wheat beer that falls flat on every count. Not sure what happened here, but it could be because the bar's tap lines are dirty. For reference, I had a well-known Russian lager (Zolotoi Yarlyk) after this, and it tasted nothing like it should.
