Comes in a standard brown half liter bottle with a fairly slick silver and blue label featuring a sketch of a wind blown eagle. Rice is an ingredient. No freshness information.
Poured a decent deeper than straw gold color under a fizzy white heat that didn't stick around too long. Even the collar disappeared pretty quickly. The nose was pretty strong in the pour, but disappeared quickly - malt with a touch of tinniness. The mouth is prickly, and just slightly heavy. The taste starts out in the malty grain area, then moves to a light and metallic hoppiness pretty common among Russian beers. The aftertaste features this metallic bitterness. I've had much worse Russian beers, but I won't be looking to have this one again either.
(Note: This is my first Russian beer after having enjoyed HopDevil and Storm King Stout. Probably not a fair comparison. Them's the breaks!)
