Jun 14, 2008 Poored a clear yellow with little head. Smelled of alcohol and some form of grain. The taste was that of malted grain and maybe vodka. This was like drinking malted grains of some kind, don’t know if it was barley or what, with several shots of rum or vodka in it. Glad I only purchased one bottle of this because for the price I would hate pouring more than one bottle down the drain. This is my first Russian brew and now I am scared to try any more of them.

Jun 13, 2008 Light brown pour with minimal. Sweet malts on the nose. Sweet and malty flavor, but it is a little to sweet for me

Jun 10, 2008 Sweet and tangy aroma. Moderately dark clear golden color with a small white head. Sweet taste starts slowly in the beginning and lasting long into the finish. Light creamy palate.

May 25, 2008 Bottle: Light brown pour with no head to speak of. Very little carbonization. Scent of fruit and a hint of alcohol. Taste is overpowering of alcohol.

Poured a clear light gold, white head, low retention......Aroma of, actually, Im not sure.....I smelled rubbing alcohol, I know that...Flavor was very sweet, but I don’t detect any hops to balance it out.....Actually I was tasting corn and a taste a bad whisky for some reason.....palate is medium with medium-high carbonation......This thing is just nasty, perhaps it can compete with Steel Reserve???? Just nasty....I have gone through half the bottle and Im not going any further....sometimes rating beers really hits hard.....

May 17, 2008 This beer pours a pale yellow in colour, and a small lightly frothed head, aroma is slightly reminiscent of lemons but more noticeably corn and almonds. Taste was dissapointing overall.

May 17, 2008 Pours a light clear yellow with a chunky white head. Aroma is sour and corny. Flavor is sweet and stale with lots of burning alcohol. Finishes cloying and syrupy. Makes me sick to my stomach. Pretty nasty; a rare drain pour for me.
