Commercial Description:
When Germans and Russians raised their glasses in a Munich Bierkeller in 1919 and the casks went dry, they extended their evening and their Weizen beer with lemonade. A delicious outrage was developed under the name "Russ" as an original Bavarian beergarden specialty.

The bottle looks a little bit old, the beer in the glass is okay. Tastes very fruity and fresh, not too sweet and chemical. Good beer!

Bottle, 50cl. The label is strange, with two girls whispering something to each other behind a slice of a lemon!!! A very nice drink this Russ. Smooth and refreshing, it seems like a mixture between a weizenbier and a lemonade (50% of each). Pale yellow colour (hazy) with a good white head, creamy and consistent. Good carbonation. Lemony aroma with some yeast also present, typical in a wheat beer. Flavour is very refreshing and not too much sweet (just with a hint of lemon). Light body. A very good drink although not "completely" a beer.

For those non-Germans in the audience, a Russ is like a Radler except a Weizen beer is used. Aroma is only of the lemonade (Sprite/Mountain Dew). Color light yellow. Flavor primarily of lemon soda with the merest hint of the Weizen. This is a good thirst quencher (and I rated it high because it is a great example of a Russ but it isn’t most people idea of a true beer).
