L- Seriously red, perhaps the most vivid red hue of chestnut I've ever seen. Clear, pours with 5mm tan head that literally loudly fizzes itself 95% out of existance in about 10 seconds. This is not your typical beer pour.
S- A mildly fruity bitterness.
T- Oh good grief. It has an overwhelming artificial taste to it. It's thin whilst being a bit over-sweet (and I mean sweet and not rich which is a different sensation). It has that 'carbonic' sharp taste that comes from being artificially infused with too much CO2. I'd bet money on this being an adjunct, made with a cheap substitute to grain malts.
F- Artificial, has a notable sweet edge. Gas in the mouth too high, at least to begin with.
O- The lable is entirely in Russian so I can't tell you if the dazzling red hue is fake, nor if indeed this is an adjunct. This is a surprisingly poor quality beer. Then again I cannot even tell you for sure whether this beer is in fact Czech or Russian. I'd suggest avoiding it.
BB 11/08/2020 500ml bottle bought from BeerOfEurope (UK) [Pls note: they sell a lot of great beer, this brewery apparently being the exception in the 150-200 beers I've bought from them].
The URL on the lable for the brewer takes you to a holding make which translates from Russian as 'Competition closed, thanks for taking part!' and zero else.
