I’ve gone out on a limb here with a Russian beer and a strong lager at that. I’m not saying Russia can’t brew beer or craft beer. But I’m concerned about what is in it. On first taste it’s very malty and you can taste the 8% ABV. I’m guessing this is a beer to have to follow vodka chasers sitting around a card table with your comrades on a Saturday night.
