Yes, I am just as surprised as you are - Russians drink beer?! I thought they were on a steady diet of vodka. Well, as it turns out they not only drink beer, but brew it as well.
This weissbier pours an extremely bubbly orange body with a quickly dissipating head. It has the typical weissbier aromas of banana bread, honey, and some citrus. The taste is not far off either with a bready flavor coupled with banana (reminded strongly of the Hopf Helle Weisse). Mouthfeel was fairly dry with an insane amount of carbonation -the first sip felt like a razorblade slicing the tip of my tongue! Drinkability is high on this one as it's not too filling and the flavor is not too imposing.
A solid weissbier that I would recommend, although it could use a little less carbonation.
Final Grade - 8/10
