Шняга какая то. Вкус жидкий, послевкусие какое то кисловатое. Единственное что раует, это утылка с симпотичной этикеткой и крышка. Стиль чувствуется. Наполнение весьма....

Pours hazy ruby color with 1.5 finger tall thick head decreasing slowly, leaving good lacing. Nice smell of strawberry jam, grapefruit and mango with some fresh bread. Taste is quite bready with a hint of lemon and bitter. Medium-bodied with nearly perfect carbonation. I had it a little bit too warm so there was a feeling that something is wrong with it. Anyway not bad and the cheapest IPA in Russia as well.

A: Light amber body with chunky off-white head.
S: Peppy hoppiness with some fudge.
T: Bitter orange rind and grapefruit with lots of bitter toastiness. Lacking bass though, for lack of a better term. Has a fruity sourness as well. The mouthfeel isn't lively enough. Chewy head.
O: Not too bad.
