iambeer (255), Ontario, Canada Feb 22, 2005 Appearance was of a dull yellow, as was taste, could think of a few basement bargians to beat this. Had slightly metallic taste. Hardly worth what the LCBO charged for it. heemer77 (4294), Savannah, Missouri, USA Feb 21, 2005 Bright gold body with a foithy white head. Strong malty aroma of carrots and even some onions. Lots of bread. The mouthfeel is light with plenty of carbonation. Tastes are honey, bread and celery. A light bell pepper and apple core finish. Best by May 16, 2005. DerBiermeister (503), Birmingham, Alabama, USA Feb 19, 2005 The best part about this beer is that it is smooth and sweet. The downside is that it is a bit wobbly and unbalanced. As a sidenote, the number 3 on it apparently denotes darkness. The higher the number, the darker the beer (at least, according to my dad). pootzboy (1035), Hawgville, Ontario, Canada Feb 14, 2005 Last and saddest of the 10 commie Lagers at the LCBO. Pours a very protirelin hazed pale straw color...small cap, moderate lace. Aroma: again with the veggies!!! what is this with the Ruski brews?....they got no barley??? >grainy corn tastes, weak body, sweet, fast finish no hops to speak of....bad beer..leave it on the shelf...it’s obscene cheap commie slop like this retails for over 2 dollars in Canada. punkeedo (465), San Antonio, Texas, USA Feb 13, 2005 This truly is a happy beer. Call me crazy, but if you’re gonna give this beer an 11%--go drink something else and send your bottles to me. A very complex, yet subtle brew, this beer is golden with a quickly dissipating white head. It has a very floral nose with a golden strawy taste, mixed with hops and malts. A very nice beer--quite quaffable. I could drink many of these and would, if they were available in Birmingham or Memphis. Great beer! JorisPPattyn (5155), Antwerpen, Belgium Feb 12, 2005 Pale golden beer; thick, fine, very white head, fast gone. Vanilla, wet hay, faint grain - very vaguely sourish smell. Sharpish grainy-malt taste, or some adjunct, some faint cookie. Sweet, but with again a sourish edge. Liquorice in the finish. Light MF, bit fizzy. Small burning aftertaste. Half litre of boring lager - ’nuff said. RAYBOY01 (1812), Chicago, Illinois, USA Jan 21, 2005 Nice astringent aroma. Mildly bitter bite in the flavor along with a hoppiness in the aftertaste. This isn’t a really bad beer, just not very remarkable either. dortmunder (961), Herdecke, Germany Jan 6, 2005 Bottled. Bad, adjuncty aroma. Sweet, grainy, very adjuncty taste. Woah, another crappy beer from Baltika.
