Baltika 3 Klassicheskoe (Classic)

Brewed by Baltika Brewery (Baltic Beverages Holding - Carlsberg)
Style: Pale Lager
St. Petersburg, Russia

Found this one bottled in Belvidere, Illinois. Standard yellow fizz. Sweet and sour nose of canned corn, notes of apple cider and some malty bitterness. Inoffensive, and for my first Russian beer, certainly drinkable.

500 mL bottle. Gold with decent head. To quote the last guy, "faint sweetish grassy aroma with apple notes." An inoffensive lager - no corn! A little sweeter than others, perhaps. Not much finish. A lager that would be welcome on the dock if served icy cold.

Small white head quickly shrinks into thin white ring. Light yellow body with ongoing carbonation. Faint sweetish grassy aroma with apple notes. Taste is grainy apple with strong grassy notes. Some chalk. Dry, papery aftertaste. Unpleasant papery bitterness settles in the mouth. The initial taste is the best thing about this. Not so good. (0.5l bottle.)

Bottle, 500ml, 5.1% ABV. A pale yellow colour with a medium-sized head that diminishes to nothing. Light aroma of hops and honey. A well-balanced taste of hops and malt with some caramel and bread/yeast. A hoppy, citrus finish. Moderate carbonation. Quite pleasant and easy to drink.

Slightly offensive sardine tin-aroma. Smells like a budget tinned lager. Body golden and spritzy, with a generously billowy head. At first. Flavour thin and grassy, with a dash of chemical bitterness. If I’d paid 60cents for this in a Greek supermarket, I’d be disappointed. Quite an unpleasant experience.

16.9 oz bottle- A clear golden color with a big white head. An aroma of corn and skunk. Taste of corn and a little malt and a little watery. I was expecting worse coming from Russia but its not bad.

HAD THIS ON MY 30TH BIRTHDAY!!!1pint,9oz . brown bottle 5% ABV straw yellow, white head. Not sure how this is different from Baltika2. Smells like cereal. Not much hop aroma. This one is much more balanced than that #2. More hop bitterness on the palate in the finish.

500ml bottle, 4.8% a/v As promised pours with a foamy white hda and a general gold colour, nothing fancy. The smell is chemically and malty at the same time.. weird. The taste is of malt and chemicals... not very good. Drinkable but reminiscent of my teenage years drinking 40 ouncers of garbage beer. Not recommended, unless your looking to up your count.
