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.

Pours piss yellow into a shaker. White sickly head. Macro adjunct aromas. Sweet and crisp upfront, turns cloying in the finish. Unpleasant.

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.

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.

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.
