| 2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 1/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 9/20 | Nov 20, 2008 This is pretty decent for a lager. It’s definitely got the Eastern European thing going on. Not much flavor except for a tangy bitterness, which is better than nothing and more profound than most lagers. Great for a lager, just fair overall. thornecb (1755), Marblehead, Massachusetts, USA
| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Nov 19, 2008 Pours piss yellow into a shaker. White sickly head. Macro adjunct aromas. Sweet and crisp upfront, turns cloying in the finish. Unpleasant. thepegjett (94), Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada

I have misplaced my comments for this beer EFC1878 (292), Manchester, Greater Manchester, England
| 1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 1/10 | 3/5 | 1/10 | 1/5 | 4/20 | Oct 20, 2008 Christ, this is poor. No aroma, typical lager appearance, apart from an initial sweetness there’s no flavour, bland on the palate. Undistinguished. It’s a sad comment on some of the world’s brewers that this is not the worst beer I’ve ever had. Nightfall (647), Athens, Greece
| 2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 2/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 8/20 | Oct 16, 2008 Finally I tried the lager beer of Baltika (3). I expected a much better beer after having the baltika 6 (porter). However all I tasted was an average , unispired lager. SODAK14 (106), Rapid City, South Dakota, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Oct 3, 2008 Not a bad beer, clean and crisp. OK, you can call me nuts but I find this beer very similar to Heineken. Actually I like it better, I think it has a much better finish.
