Baltika 3 Klassicheskoe (Classic)

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

This poured with a clear, medium gold colour and lots of carbonation bubbles, as well as a generous foamy white heat. Aroma was hopped and floral. Taste was something else, mostly bitter to the point of being almost sour. I really didn’t care for this one.

Oh my is Russian beer bad. Seriously the best beer for drinking after school, the worst for anything else. Its like shitty American macro-pales. Its gets points for being dirt cheap.

500ml Bottle - Golden with a white head. Malty aroma with a hint of corn. Malty and slightly sweet, with grain and very little bitterness.

Pale golden with a fleeting white head. Aroma is sulfery, burnt rubber with a dash of black pepper. light bodied. Lightly dry pale lager, yeasty malt flavors with a mild peppery, spicy finish. Not that bad.

Bottle, 4.8%. Almost clear yellow colour. Big stable white head. The flavour is mildly malty. Has a little paper. Low bitterness. Quite boring, but clean.

Strangely intriguing.... Love the description for this one: "..Enjoys deserved popularity with all beer fans. This beer is specially brewed for you". OK then. Smells just like low kwalitie Canadian pale lagers! Hey! Am I the only one who ended up with a huge foam up and then ended up with very nice retention of a bright white rocky crown? Anyone else get the spotty lacing? Did I get a fresh bottle? Sure, this has the weak standard light gold colour, but this one is crystal clear and the crown is suprisingly good. 7 for a Pale.... Lots of aroma but none that I really want to smell. Cheap crappy malts, chemicals, sllight apple, corn, dirt or dust and something that really really reminded me of Xmas at my Grandma’s house - can’t place it but after half a glass it’s gone....dammit. Taste is OK - corn, candy, ...AAARGG! heres that xmas thing again....sort of a weak nutty, candy, spice all mixed together....what is that? Mouthfeel is decent, I’m not sickened like the rest of you. Thin. OK carb, a little thick, flat mouthfeel, ends dry. If I actually WANTED a pale ale...a crappy one, I’d probally buy this one. Nice classy label...where’s the label rating category?

Pours clear golden with a white head. Aroma is light malt and hop. Flavor is grainy malt with a slightly bitter hop finish.

"Extremely pale gold with a one inch noisy cap and is reducing fast, the last skiff of head seems to be lasting forever. Brew looks flat due to a total lack of carbonation bubbeling up. This stuff stinks there was an explostion of skunk when the bottle was first opened. theres nothing here but skunk grass, some sweet grains and moldy apple. Nat my girly friend says it smells like when you’ve made out with a drunk guy at the bar so I guess this means drinking this beer is the same as making out with a dude. Where the hell is the flavor there is nothing here, the flavor is very watery and has bread in the finish, if i try really hard i can tast moldy apple I think, maybe a touch grass. Where the hell is the flavor???? This flavorless boring and a waste of time but didn’t taste bad and no matter how hard I try I can’t think of any reason to drink this."
