A thanks to the Czar of the Kvass kick, woodychandler, for this beer.Poured from a large, brown plastic bottle. Has a cola color with no head at all. Smell is of dark fruits, some breads. Taste is the same, strong dark fruits, light breads, a touch on the sweet side. Feels medium bodied in the mouth and overall is a decent beer.

All of a sudden, the Kvass Kick is back up an running, Kamarades! There were three (3) of us who were hardcore for a while ( @TMoney , @NeroFiddled & @woodychandler ) until @UCLABrewN84 raised the question as to whether Kvass was worthy of or even merited inclusion. 8=( The wind left my sails as the debate protracted & I simply moved on. Time has borne me out & Kvass has a solid place on this site! Happy happy joy joy! Which brings me to my current, renewed interest. I took some Kvass to a monthly bottle share last Saturday & while it was not wildly received, it was still pooh-poohed by some attendees! 8={} I ALREADY fought in this battle & won! Now, I am simply drinking the fruits of my success in advance of tomorrow's visit from @tone77 who will get halvsies of everything today & tomorrow.
From the Bottle: "Хлебный Квас".
I unscrewed the plastic cap from the plastic bottle (!) 8=( & began a slow C-Line pour into my awaiting Saint-Petersburg souvenir glass, procured a few weeks ago at Otterbein Church's monthly Attic Treasures rummage sale. It was still another still Kvass, evincing no carbonation nor producing any head. Fine by me as I charged my glass up to the rim! More for me. Color was Dark Brown to Very Dark Brown (SRM = > 27, < 34), and while closer to 34, it still allowed me to see cola highlights. The smell was on the sweet side, reminiscent of locally-made Turkey Hill Iced Tea. Hmm. If this one pans out, it will be a pleasant follow-up to the previous one, which still has my lips in a pucker. Mouthfeel was on the thin side and while not watery, it was pretty close. The taste was quite sweet, very much reminiscent of the aforementioned iced tea. It definitely did not taste of prunes, although I will concede raisins, but it was less bready and more sugary. While not the best of the lot, it was certainly a nice change-up after the previous one. I kept finding myself thinking of iced tea as I drank it. Now, back to the intended purpose of Kvass - to be a refreshing street beverage during the Summer on hot, humid days. I do not know about you, but that is when & why I like to drink iced tea. It seems to fit that bill, at least. Finish was sweet & my half-share of the bottle was plenty. Again, not bad, but just too sweet for my taste. YMMV.
