2.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 8/20
Bottle. Golden beer with a fairly strong white’ish head. The aroma is fairly sweet, and the flavour is sugary sweet with a gentle bitterness to it. Overall a disappointing fairly sweet and bitter lager.
1.2 AROMA 1/10 APPEARANCE 1/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 6/20
Not much to say other than not too many Americans have tried it, but if you have had 5 or 10 American light beers, again you have tasted similar. Alot of aftertaste going on, not too keen on the Russian beers I have tried, I’m sure there are great ones out there but still looking. Not too bad, just not much going on for me.
1.6 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 6/20
Thanks to Elisabeth and Stefan for bringing a 500ml bottle back to Tromsø for our CCCP drinking session. Decent white head, faint lacework, straw-yellow body. Lighter aroma of pale malts, hint of banana. Fruit taste mixed with corn, cardboard towards the ending. Got little to offer (Tromsø, 17.08.2010).
1.7 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 6/20
Bottle. Golden with a thin foam. Aromas are grain and corn with buttery notes. Some light lemon and metal. Flavours are dry grain with lightly grassy hops. Fades away to corn with hints of citrus. Dry on the finish. Mediocre.
1.9 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
Light straw color; Light to medium body; Aroma of hay/straw, & light hops; Flavor of malt, hops, and some grain; Fairly bland; Average lager at best.
1.4 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 5/20
500ml bottle -
<
Aroma - pretty skunked, wet carboard...some sweet corn notes come out after the skunk subsides
Appearance - kinda of a dirty dishwater yellow, clear with a 1" foamy head, nothing sustained
Taste - light sweetness, some dirty metal
Palate - watery, pretty lifeless
Overall - Baltika offers many, many other beers that are light years better. Even fresh, I can’t see this being better than those.
2.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 1/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 13/20
sweet chewy caramel smell. Flavor is of frosted flakes, like a lighter Magic Hat #9 minus the fruit. Better than expected. Bottle from Milam’s Market in Miami.
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Bottle shared by Rustyham. Pours clear golden color with white head. Fruity aroma with some cereal malts. Sweet fruity flavor with some maltiness. Medium body with average carbonation. Better than I was expecting. Thanks Nick and Chris.
