About nothing. Golden color, white soap head. Aroma of malt and grain. Taste is the same. Minimal bitterness. Low-quality Euro lager that uses the word "barrel" in the name for no reason.

From the half liter bottle, it pours an amber color with a modest soon diminishing to nothing, head. The nose gets a light dose of bready malt. The mouth gets the same: light malt with some very light bitterness. Drink this after mowing the lawn on a hot day!

Poured from the bottle into a pokal style glass.

Real creamy foamed topped head at two easy fingers. Settles like a slow elevator but managing some staying power. Very light bock like looking body color, a dull light browned copper, with touches of chill like haze in the body.

Aroma is pleasant and similar to the Zhigovskoe. Sweet estery stone fruit but more of a touch of sweet caramel. There's a bit of hot clove like spice on this, almost a bit much too as it tends to burn the nostrils even. Very bold nose.

Palate seems to get the job done. Light estery and chewy mid palate mouthfeel, giving to tastes of light peach and caramel. Finishes a little spicy brown clove to black pepper, but comes off a little hot. Lingering touches of raisin and stone fruit in the mix, with a somewhat clean character.

Pretty enjoyable beer, but runs a little odd spiced hot in a way.

Undated 1.5L PET bottle, squat barrel-shaped thing with a cap handle.

Pours brightly clear with a light golden orange color. Thin layer of foam that quickly dissipates, thin ring around the edges.

Aroma of lightly sweet bread, faint dried apple.

Taste is mild and bready, grain husks, cereal, and slight papery oxidation. Finishes somewhat dry with a faint grape note. Feel is a little mealy, but the dryness seems to help the drinkability. Lightly astringent, brisk carb. Overall it’s pretty utilitarian, but not unpleasant. Pairs with hearty dishes.

look: 4 | smell: 3.25 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 4.25 | overall: 3.5
Look: Clear golden yellow with a little less than a finger of white head, which quickly dissipates. Large amount of visible carbonation bubbles rising to the top even a few minutes after pouring.

Smell: Slightly skunked pale malt with a hop backing. Generally sweet.

Taste: Mild malt with a very small amount of hop flavor. There's an unusual metallic aftertaste, like sucking on a quarter.

Mouthfeel: Thick, velvety, and highly carbonated.

Overall: While they have the feel right, the taste is rather bland and both the taste and smell have noticeable off components.
