| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 2/5 | 14/20 | Feb 10, 2004 Nice golden color,small white head that had a decent staying time.The aroma was Light and malty with a light fruit and possible caramel side to it.The taste was fruity and malty with a pretty sweet presence and something else that is just hard to put my finger on.The alcohol surprisingly never really makes an appearance,which seems kind of out of place for a Russian brew.Over all i'd have to say it's a pretty decent brew and well worth trying atleast once.

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jun 5, 2003 A bare-knuckle Russian beer. Good bottle, cool bear on the bottlecap and coat of armas. Gingerale colored beer with little head. Tangy, and slightly grainy lager aroma, with notes of soy sauce. A tart and slightly fruity brew, with a good alcohol burn and Shag (1923), Chattanooga, Tennessee, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Mar 15, 2009 A light golden appearance with a white head. The aroma contains some corn, sugar, and bread notes. The flavor oddly has alot of fruity flavor, generic like eating a handful of Fruit Loops. Some honey and corn present as well. Thus far this is like liquid kids cereal. The alcohol shows through a little bit but not much. I’m actually kind of impressed. docdarby69 (8), USA does not count | 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Sep 11, 2004 Nice beer with a kick. Nice golden color with a small head. Slight malt / hop aroma. Nice balance for being high alcohol. soulrefugee (46), Illinois, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Dec 15, 2004 It was really a good taste, especially for how cheap it was. It reminded me of some more expensive (but not the very best) german brews. It had a nice alcohol level without being raunchy tasting. Overall, a pleasant drinking experiencs PorterPounder (3148), Tallahassee, Florida, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jul 2, 2003 This is probably what the guards drank in the gulags when they ran out of vodka. Packs quite a punch - but has some sweet flavor. Pours with a decent soap-like head that dissipates quickly - appearance - light see-through golden. Aroma is prety much alcohol. The flavor has an irresistable sweetness to it - not unlike an American Malt Liquor - but more refined. I'm sure there is a kernel or two of corn in there! One of the better Russian/Eastern European lagers. Hildigöltur (5109), København, Denmark
