A: Pours a clear pale golden hue with a fluffy but transient head that leaves moderate lacing.
S: Grain and sweet malt with a hint of noble hops.
T: The sweet start is balanced with a good hop backbone in the center. The finish is bitter. The only slight drawback is the aftertaste, where you can taste the malt syrup in addition to the hops. (In other words, it's not as clean as I'd prefer.)
M: Medium body with lighter than average carbonation.
D: This is one of the better Russian pale lagers.

Pours a light yellow color, fast head, no lacing. Smells liked muted cereal grains,muted lemon. Taste some hops,yeast,water. Feels super carbonated- Overall on a hot day this beats a Budweiser.

From Combini. In Bavaria hefe glass. Playing East Tower Akio. Flat, boring and very watery. Cant say much else because it has nearly nothing in the aroma nor taste aspects, just some neutral bitterness

The name means "...from the barrel". 500 ml bottle from Riga
Pours golden with foamy head that dissipates soon, some patchy lacing. Aroma is light earthy malty with herbal hops. Fresh, simple and well balanced. Taste is rather bittery and lemony hops with even more bitter finish, some malt can be felt as well. Leaves long lasting and bittery aftertaste.
Simple, but not badly made pale lager.
