500ml can from Pivnoi Rai in Moscow. Pours clear orange with a small white head. Aroma is resin, grapefruit, caramel. Taste is medium sweet, citrus, resin, pine needles. Medium bitter finish. Solid IPA from a time when the RateBeer top 50 for Russia was dominated by lagers, a couple of Baltic porters and the odd West Coast IPA such as this one.
