Hmm well sorry to go against the grain, but I liked it. Especially since it was still quite drinkable after over 2 years. Bottle conditioned, aroma is a medium sweet barley smell, with some good sour lagered yeast, musty. There is a great bitter spicy element in this beer. Finishes strong and lightly malty. I will admit the body is a bit soapy tasting, but not watery, AND, I drank this at about 68 degrees! Good hint of fruitiness in the malt. This would be great, fresh in Russia leaparsons (4731), Leicester, Leicestershire, England

I would feel bad about buying this one if I didn’t get it for 99cents. Extremely average! oh6gdx (8839), Vasa, Finland

Notebook said "NAPHAC", which probably was my attempt to write cyrillic and try finding it out. Pale golden colour, not much head. Aroma is grain and quite lagery. Flavour is a standard lager with not much interesting. rauchbier (3000), Isle Of Beer, Lincolnshire, England
| 2.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 9/20 | Dec 19, 2002 Bottled. Straw gold, head starts well but drops leaving a thin white oil slick on the surface. Starts well with a bit of sweet malt but in the mouth it is sweet and fruity with a faint marzipan taste before developing into a cloying sweet saccharine like finish
