| 1.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 2/10 | 3/5 | 2/10 | 2/5 | 3/20 | Jul 26, 2006 Pale yellow pour under a thin white head. Strong chemical aroma (artificial skunk). Less offensive flavor but still very weak and marginally hoppy. What the h*ll is a "first class malt?" This is a first class drain pour that actually makes a bud taste g... *cough* .... *cough*... makes a Bud taste like something. kook (2034), Perth, Western Australia, Australia

| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 4/5 | 7/20 | Jul 9, 2006 Bottle. Aroma is quite malty, with hops being very faint and in the background. Taste is VERY yeasty, like Budweiser or Coors, but has a somewhat think malt part to it.Carbonation is good, but the taste is just too overpowering. Slightly creamy, but wayyy too yeasty and malty. Not a repeat buy. skoisirius (573), Seattle, Washington, USA
| 1.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 1/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 6/20 | Jul 2, 2006 16.9 oz bottle into a Snifter glass. Pours a completely see-through light golden color with a thin and tiny bubbled white head. Aroma contains hints of yeast, malt, and Earthiness. Flavor is extremely grassy, grainy, yeasty, and mildy carbonated. The finish has a bitter note to it and dies pretty quickly. Not complex at all. Quite boring for the most part. Can be refreshing if you’re in that sort of mood, but I’ll personally pass. 5000 (2409), Hardened Liver, Washington, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jun 20, 2006 Bottle: Translucent straw, large rocky white head, spotty lacing, mild carbonation. Much like all the Baltika beers, cept the 6, that being sweet grassy nose, pale malts, a little bit of oat or hay. Taste is similar, clean, quite clean actually and much better than their american counterparts. Average body and mouthfeel, albeit a bit creamy. Hmmm, why do I like this one so? I guess cuz I expected so little but it actually gave quite a bit. Pleasing, easy to kick back, with a very slight sweet grass flavor. I could handle more of this!
