Purchased in its home town of Voronezh, somewhere east and south of Moscow, and hand-delivered to the capital (thanks, Greg), this beer comes in a standard brown half liter bottle with the familiar Zhigulovskoye lable: green and yellow, with a red banner below the name. Above the name is the seal of the brewery, crowned and ringed by hops leaves. Ingredients list conforms to the purity law. Best before 5/7/05, I opened it on 3/25/05.
Pours clear gold under a one finger white head that fades at a decent tempo (not immediately, but not slowly), leaving little trace of its existence. The nose is mild and malty, lacking the normal bad watermelon impression common to the style. The mouth is very prickly and medium-bodied. The taste is mild, full of barley and bread, without much of anything else. No discernible hops notes, this is a lot like drinking liquified grain. It's pleasant enough - I won't dump it (which is what I do with a lot of the Zhigulovskoye style).
