Lucky enough to sample this one, via my Russian friend.
Do you read Cyrillic? Tricky labeling, a fish appears, blowing the foam from the beer mug. 6.2% alcohol, the info appears in the bubbles in the label, thereby signifying this particular brew to the non-Cyrillic reader.
Big dry herbal hop, and honey in the aftertaste. Not bad considering what I had to do to get here. Some guys jumped me, and forced me into a car, next thing I know, we were guzzling this "Yershistoye"... rumored to be favored by Russian gangsters.
Light taste, familiar EPL profile... light graininess, with an herbal hop to balance it. Fairly sweet, not overpowering.
Nice dry feeling in the mouth, balanced enough to put back a couple half-liters.

The name refers to the "ruff" fish, which is described as having prickly scales. Russian slang denotes the word to mean "touchy". Further slang uses the noun form to mean a beer-vodka cocktail. There's no vodka in this brew (at least not according to the label), but it's strong enough. Ingredients (incredibly) conform to the purity law. Best before 9/15/04, I opened it on 5/2/04.
Pours a clear orangish gold under a one finger white head that settles in a flash. There's a slight, mildly fruity nose with a touch of tin. The mouth is quite prickly and medium bodied. The taste is rather non-descript, just some bready malt, a bit of sweet fruit, and very little hoppy bite. There's nothing to hate here, but also precious little to like.
