Arsenalnoe Traditsionnoe (Traditional Lager)

Golden color, light friut and malt flavour, the palate is like many macro lagers, didn’t like his one.

Bottle - 500ml. Golden body with average carbonation and a thin white foamy head. Fair malty/hoppy aroma with apple hints. Taste carries some bready notes and ends with a short bitter finish. Typical boring Russian Lager.

Lightly hazed, golden color. Moderate, foamy off-white head. Sweet aromas, with flour, floral hops and hints od pear, apricot and other light fruit Light malt and touch of honey flavors. Some biscuit and white grape flavors also. Fairly thick in feel. Sweet finish and linger.

Plastic bottle. Golden color, small white head. Sweet aroma. Its difficult to say about flavor: like sweet bread. No hoppy tones, without bitter finish. Not so good.

Bottled. Pale golden, small head. Medium sweet.Medium bodied with rounded mouthfeel. Fruity and somewhat mushy, near no bitterness. Very neutral.

A ittle bit stronger in flavour, not bad, a little sweet but after a while boring, you can sense the alcohol strenght in it.

This bottled brew marked best before 28.12.05 lot 23W from a bottle shop poured a large sized head of white colored bubbles that were mostly diminishing and left behind a transparent typically carbonated light yellow light orange colored body. The aroma was straw like mildly hoppy and malty. The mouth feel was tingly at the start and at the finish. The flavor contained notes of malt hops and was mildly vinous. Not one that I would likely buy again.

Bottle marked best before 04.11.05. White medium sized head that mostly diminished, sparse lacing, visible carbonation, transparent, and a gold hue. Nose was malty, hoppy and hint of grain. Flavor was fairly mild, malty, lightly hoppy and a bit of grain. Tingly mouthfeel. Medium body. Overall, not impressed and not one to be revisited.
