"I was not timid until I tried the beer. A dark yellow appearance with a corny aroma. The flavor is very sweet and syrupy with adjuncts all up in your grill. Pretty much crap.

[3] Review by heemer77 from Savannah, MO, USA who has tried this beer (5/18/2005 8:43:00 PM)
"Bright gold coloring with a thin, but consistent head. Aroma is sweet tree bark with some carrots and nutmeg. The mouthfeel is lively with carbonation. The taste has brown sugar, celery and even some light roasted caramel. This is a lager that almost resembles a dunkel. Very nicely done."

[4] Review by staleyiv from Newnan, GA, USA who has tried this beer once. (3/25/2005 7:28:36 PM)
"The aroma is of sweet malt with some grain as well as some slight hops. The appearance is a darker yellow to golden in color with a small, white, stringy head on top that sticks to the glass. The mouthfeel is relatively light with decent comlexity and balance. The flavor is grainy or corn-like with some hoppy bitter but not much and a bit watery but not too terribly bad. Overall, an average beer that is pretty refreshing with no characteristics that stand out with not too much skunkiness. Bottomline, this is just a solid, mass-produced Russian beer that is decent at best."

[5] Review by Zaitsev from Moscow, Russia who has tried this beer a couple times. (8/19/2002 1:57:01 AM)
"This beer is strong and hard to drink. Smell of alcohol is felt at once when the bottle is opened. The colour is reddish, the taste is alcohol sweet with a bit of fruit tone. "
