This microbrewery in the Moscow region specializes in ales and is, therefore, unique in Russia. I've only ever seen their products in one liter brown plastic bottles. The label is colorful, and features a big English letter "L" printed on what looks like parchment. Label information carefully explains what an "ale" is and how popular this type of drink is in the UK and western Europe. Ingredients include sugar. Best before 2/18/04, I opened mine on 9/23/03.
Poured a nice orange-gold color with a thin off-white head that stuck around surprisingly long but left no lace. Just from appearance, it looked like a good bitter. The nose is malty, but there is a note of citrus here that seems out of place. The mouth is fairly light, with medium carbonation, but the citrus sour is definitely there. The taste reveals what fruit, and the opener is pure grape juice. Interesting. Fortunately, the grape is quickly overwhelmed by malt, which is equally quickly overwhelmed by a very nice hoppy bitter bite. The bitterness is smooth, as an English bitter should be, but it is also quite pronounced. The aftertaste retains this bitterness, making this brew quite refreshing.
