Zhiguly Grande 9,5
Out of a bottle this beer was bright yellow color with lots of rising carbonation. The retention was so-so and the lacing light. The aroma was of sweet malt, adjunct grains and a strong note of booze. The flavors were similar, boozy and bold with lots of adjunct grains and some sweet malt that tried to blanket the wallop of high-impact ALC content. Punchy, but little more. The mouthfeel was average, the body medium and the carbonation levels about right. Perhaps Im being a bit strong, but I kept thinking Euro malt liquor for euro-trash types.
