(33 cl bottle, bought in Denmark.) The beer pours with a deep amber colour, head is low. Aroma is malty sweet with some caramel and hops. Flavour is again malty sweet, rounded and mellow, low bitterness. This the best of the Tinkoff beers I’ve had so far.

Bought in Moscow.
Pours out a clear deep red amber with a small white head which doesn't last too too long. Mouthfeel has a thin syripy thing going on. Flavor is lead by a sweet malt thickness buffered by a slight hopping for attempted balance. Balance is not there with this beer. It is too much on the malt side of things. Still quite drinkable though.

Comes in a 33cl brown Tinkoff's bottle (meaning that the glass includes an impression of the name and coat of arms, plus some other Tinkoff's specific information. The only label is around the neck. (At least the bottle is brown - most of Tinkoff's products come in clear glass.) Ingredients conform to the purity law. The label said, essentially: "See bottle for best before date," but I couldn't find the date. Oh well... The Russian word "Krasnoye" means "red", but the label itself includes an English (sort of) name: Böck. Not Bock, but Böck. This ain't a Bock, and Böck is awfully close to the German word for "horney, " - anyway...

Pours a clear golden red under a thin pink head that fizzles quickly. The nose is malty with a hint of, gosh, I'd swear that's chocolate. The mouth is very prickly and thin. The flavor is sweet and sour candy, with more of that chocolate impression. (What the heck is that doing here?) Some malt comes out in the finish, but this style should be a good deal hoppier. The aftertaste is all malt. Certainly drinkable, but it should be much better...
