From the notes. Bottle, pours golden, white head. Aroma of beer, taste of beer. Maybe some malt and hops. Not much distinction.

1pint .9 fl oz pour. Slight sour with a bit o skunk aromes. Attacks the tip of the tongue. Noticeable aftertaste with hint of malt ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Bouteille 500ml. Nez malté de grains de malt pâles, léger de maïs sucré ainsi que des légères notes de houblon floral et herbeux ainsi que de légumes bouillis. Mince-moyenne en bouche et assez pétillante. Goût de grains de malt pâles légèrement croustillant lors de l’entrée en bouche suivi d’un léger goût de légumes bouillis avec des traces de pain et maïs sucré puis vient ensuite un très léger goût amer de houblon floral et herbeux (foin). Post-goût court, légèrement amer de houblon floral avec un léger goût herbeux.

Bottle. Pours a crystal clear light golden color with a smallish white head. Nose is much like most lagers, with a slightly skunky smell, but not too overpowering. Taste is light and almost slightly sour. Not a fan.

Bottle shared with McTapps. By far the worst from Baltika until now. No real aroma, maybe a bit tobacco in the background. Tastes like the cheapest from aldi or lidl. Dull, tasteless, watery.

Bottle shared with MichaelBruch. Light golden in colour with low but steady head. Taste of bitter hops mixed with sugar, ripe grains and mild citrus fruits. Easy to drinks, seems like a "Gold" from a discounter. Mild finish, medium carbonated.

Can at the Baltika stand at the Belgrade Christmas Market. Oof this is bad. Sour artificial grape flavor, in pale lager form. Weirdly artificial.

Poured from a 16.9 oz brown bottle into a snifter. This is a rather pale golden lager: has a modest, sudsy white head that covers the beer for only a few minutes. Smells of light malt and corn with a hint of honey. Tastes (too) sweet and corny, with very low levels of hops and malt. Body is light and watery; carbonation is a tad low; smooth. Overall: drinkable but poor enough to earn an avoid recommendation.

50cl can from Tallinn. Pours clear pale yellow with a white head. Lightly malty with some fruity notes and hints of hops. Less sweet than expected and lightly malty with hints of green apples and cooked vegetables. Slightly sour too, with a soft and mild bitterness in the finish. A bit thin and watery. Hints of metal, but drinkable. Fairly standard pale lager, drinkable and somewhat refreshing.

Very malty beer, pale golden color with creamy head. Lightly carbonated and flavor of malt and hops.
