Basic straw-hued pale lager layers rice-caked barleycorn graining and glutinous wheat sweetness atop icy quartz water from underground springs. On second passing, caramelized apple, kettle corn, and butterscotch illusions distend above fizzy popcorn buttering.

Astringent maize nose informs dainty off-dry floral wheat luster and salted hop pep of peculiar golden-hazed lager. Buttery cocoa malts and wobbly licorice notes infiltrate soapy orange limed suggestion to cheap Scotch finish. Tinny alcohol-burnt astringency ruins medicinal intrigue.

Beautiful Russian Orthodox church on label worth noting, but hazy, pale, short-headed, clear-toned lager inside bottle remains bland. Earthy hop bitterness, freshly harvested barley wisp, dry rye mire, and spritzy lemon backdrop lead to dulled single malt whiskey finish.

Ghostly pale fuliginous brew mired by swampy malt-hop putrefaction, skunked sourdough aroma, and misplaced licorice notes to dirty water finish. Juicy lemon drop tartness, distant grapefruit-tangerine tang, and buttery wheat bottom dissolved by phenol astringency.

Subtle smoked malt taunt and shadowy honey-sugared sweetness drape early metallic souring of soapy golden-hazed medium-bodied pale lager. Floral-herbal caress compromised by vegetal rice-corn stridency. Second-rate.
