Commercial Description:

Translation from Russian:
"Zhigulevskoye" - the second Soviet type of beer, revived by the specialists of Ochakovo. The taste of this beer is recognized by millions of Russians. At Ochakovo we tried to preserve the soft classic taste of "zhigulevskoye" which is brewed here in accordance with the best Soviet traditions of brewing. Ochakovo used only the best types of malt and hops in the formula, and used the most modern equipment for the production of the beer.

500ml bottle from Peckham’s, Glasgow. Gold with slight haze and green tinge with thin white head. Odd bubblegum aroma. More cheap bubblegum in mouth. This is terrible. Not sure what it is. A wheat beer? Odd bleach. It’s a bland lager with terrible bubblegum and bleach.

Very light colored. Bighead, probable assisted by chemicals. Just a hint of flowers in the aroma. Sweetish, grainy and a bit salty. Thin. Not good, but could be worse.

Bottle: Golden, nice head and light lacing. Nose of light sweet corn and pale malt, some alcohol and a crude, primal lager quality. The flavor is sweet and corny, zesty lemon and malt. Finishes lame, corny. Meh.

Bottle. Head is initially small, frothy/fizzy, white, mostly diminishing. Body is clear medium yellow. Aroma is lightly malty (grain, husks), lightly to moderately hoppy (flowers/honeysuckle), with a light note of soap, hint of plastic. Flavor is moderately sweet, lightly bitter. Finish is lightly sweet, lightly to moderately bitter, slightly husky. Light to medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation. Fairly fresh bottle (just recently arrived in Colorado, AFAIK). Surprisingly nice punch of honeyish-flowery hops (Hallertau?) in the nose, which was unexpected. Yeah, kind of a plain and slightly flawed backdrop for them, but a perfectly acceptable flavor balance helps, and it’s not too unclean either. As the dreaded pale lagers of the world go, this is actually decent, definitely drinkable, and doomed to be underrated (I imagine this goes downhill fast sitting on the shelf for very long).

Bottled. A yellowy green colourd lager with a short-lived white head. The aroma is corn and ice particles. The taste is pretty much water with a little bite of alcohol. Shocking.
