Baltika 3 Klassicheskoe (Classic)

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

Disappointing. Almost tasteless. Pours ugly clear yellow color. Fizzy head does nothing to save this one from the drain.

This beer has a very strong aroma of hops. It has somewhat of a malty taste, but maybe not enough. It is a thin yellow, with a thin quick fading head. I got this one from a friend, I’m glad I didn’t pay for it. Two words, "Baltic Budweiser".

Reallyy average. I have liked some of the beers from this brewery, but this one does nothing for me.

Bottle from Morrisons. Straw Yellow with white fizzy head. Sparkling. Aroma lightly fruity, appley, grassy. Thin bodied. Slightly bitter finish. Better than expected.

Bottle. Pale straw colored beer with a nice white head. Non-descript aroma that you’d describe as lager-like. Some fruitiness to the flavor along with some malt. Medium body and finish. Easy drinking.

Good colour and a good white head, leaving some lace, steady bead of bubbles.There is some soft malty chararcter and some light hops on the palate, thats yer lot, I’ve had a lot worse.

This bottled brew poured a large sized head of foamy white colored bubbles beneath a frothy top of mostly diminishing finely sized bubbles. The body was carbonated transparent and pale yellow in color with a fair lacing. The aroma was that of dirty socks malty and very off. It had a tingly thin mouth with a mildly astringent aftertaste. The flavor was malty hoppy and had a mild dirt note.

Bottle (500ml) Poured bright, clear, light brassy-yellow with a large white frothy head - decent lacing. Aroma is light, sugary sweet with some sour apple and vegetal notes, moreso with warming. Tastes like apple cores, weak sourish malt - not offensive, but not really there, either - develops a pleasant ripe apple sweetness on warming, with very vague hoppiness developing. Watery mouthfeel. I’d like to try their porter, this ain’t no thang ...
