Sparkling golden body with some malty aromas. Taste is a tad sweet and malty, and very similar to other beers of this type. Drinkable, but nothing I would get if I had a choice.

| 2.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 9/20 | Mar 11, 2004 Standard lager appearance with a moderately hoppy aroma. Fairly boring taste, just slightly bitter. Cleaner and a bit more satisfying than other Russian beers I've had but that isn't saying much. nigos (620), Sheffield, South Yorkshire, England
| 1.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 2/5 | 3/10 | 2/5 | 5/20 | Mar 10, 2004 Light crisp slighty skunked grassy aroma. Light pissy hue with a fast disappating foamy head. Watery taste with a malty edge and a short skunky finish. Standard Swil. chriso (4851), London, Greater London, England
| 2.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 8/20 | Mar 9, 2004 The head, like champagne mousse, rises up then quickly dies down to nothing. Low carbonation thereafter, leaving just a petillant prickle on the tongue. Very pale gold colour. Some fusty malt in the aroma, but quite faint. I also thought I detected corn adjunct notes, but that isn't listed in the ingredients. Sweetish initial impression on the palate, with some biscuity malt notes and an acidic edge appearing later. Not very hop accented. The finish is fresh, clean and vvery dry, but marred by a metallic tang that hangs around after all else has departed. Drinkable, but not very distinguished. 500ml bottle from beersofeurope.co.uk
