This is, to date, the only beer brewed by the Stariy Georg brewpub. No bottles, but they will fill your plastic bottle or growler for you, and you can find it in a few bars around Samara, in addition to the brewpub. The ingredients conform (of course!) to the purity law.

Comes out a lovely full cloudy gold color, with a firm contoured white head that lingered long but left no lace. There is a mildly hoppy, flowery nose, while the mouth is medium-bodied and slightly carbonated. The initial taste is smooth and distinctly barley, with just a touch of heavy sweetness. The finish features some mild hops that leave a fresh bitter aftertaste. I could see myself drinking quite a few of these in a session.

Samara is dominated by the Zhigulovskiy mega-brewery, but this is the best beer in town. By far.
