Ochakovo Zhigulevskoe

Pale beer with a creamy white head and a malty sweet-salty aroma. Flavor is cereal and flowers. It seems a bit watered down, though flavor is still present. Finish has a bit of hop bitterness--a very small bit. Not bad. Not good. But interesting. I’ll likely not buy it again, but I’m glad I tried it.

Pale lager colour.I’m not sure what cat urin smells like at the moment, but I think this might be pretty close, especially at this temperature. The taste is... vanilla and hay.

500ml bottle.
Pale gold, small white head. Smells like a cheap and nasty pilsner. Fizzy in the mouth. Harsh metallic hop extract taste. Slightly papery, and perhaps dusty, too. Even though its only 4%, it still had an alcoholic edge to it. Theres some rotten fruit to it too. Has a few occasional nice tastes, but theyre dwarfed by the less pleasant ones. Hardcored the whole bottle though, in case I became inured to the nastier aspects. Hmmm - I did. The taste softens once you can ignore the metallic hops, and becomes creamier, more vanilla-like, and almost buttery in places. Still not what Id call tasty though.

I actually quite enjoyed this. This was very good for a pale lager. Beautiful gold color, foamy head, very light and nice taste . I thoroughly enjoyed this after a hot day at the marina. My only complaing was that it was a little over carbonated. Would definitely buy again.
