This brown 0.5litre bottle came to me from 'Beers of Europe', via MONOLITH GmbH (a German firm). The front label has a viking boat witha red sail as its center piece. The beer is 4.9%. Although the only other reviewer had a different bottle (label wise and strenght wise), I am sure this is the same beer.
Very, very pale yellow, a golden weak urine colour to be honest. The white head did try and stay on each of the three pours (into a Veltins Pilsner glass).
There was a hint of cereals in the aroma, but not much else, gets my standard 3 for a non-smelling pils/lager.
Tasted better than it looked, a run of the mill pilsner with no outstanding or interesting features. Clean, refreshing and OK.
No real body depth, but what true pilsners have? Would hold its own against better known German pilsners (Becks, Dab, etc).
I won't be booking any flights or re-ordering any more of these, but it isn't an unpleasant beer by any means.

Purchased and sampled in Pavlodar, Kazakhstan, this brown 1/2 liter bottle sports a green, orange and yellow label featuring hops and barley, plus a man holding a mug up to the light. Ingredients conform to the purity law. Best before 3/20/06, I opened it on 4/6/06. Oops.
Pours a clear medium gold under a very thin 1/2 finger off-white head that fizzles very quickly but manages to leave some good lace strings. The nose is strong of malt, hops and not quite bad watermelon. The mouth is well-carbonated and slightly sticky. Classic Zhigulovskoye taste, heavy on the not quite yet sour malt. A fairly strong floral and metallic hops bite follows, but succombs eventually to the malt. It's OK, if you like this style.
