Baltika 3 Klassicheskoe (Classic)

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

Greenish straw colouration, fair, white head. Barky, orangy, floral hops, musty/sweaty aroma, light grainyness. nice mouthfeel, light fruit and floral bitterness.

Light gold color. Medium sized white foamy head. Aroma is grassy and sweet, touch of apples and a little medicinal. A medium bodied pale lager. Malts are mild, touch of corn and a touch of bread. Slightly spicy hops. Tastes much better than it smells. Crisp and clean. Still kind of unimpressive and is very much an average euro-lager. Nothing really awful or bad in the taste, just sort of average and bland. Mouthfeel is full. Finish is clean and crisp. Aftertaste is slightly bitter.

Pours golden yellow with thin white head...smell is skunky and grainy...taste is a little surprising...skunky grass at first, then turns much spicier than I’d expected...pretty good!!

light golden, clear as a bell, head is white, thin, but mostly lasting. arom has typical paper bag, adjunct qualities...same as flavor..paper, corn and/or rice. as good as BMC.

Clear, golden appearance, even white head that sticks around for a bit with a bit of lacing. Aroma is grainy and slightly skunky. Balanced, even lager flavor at the beginning but sours near finish.

Very very pale color, perhaps light then even a Corona. Frothy soapy white head. For water it is not that bad. At least no harsh after taste. Though this beer is a little lacking.

It is not so good. Not much taste. But it is drinkable!

I was lucky enough to get a real fresh sample of this. Unfortunantly, it’s quite unimpressive. Faint golden color with a pale, unimpressive head. Not much in the aroma department. Flavor is quite mild and relatively well-balanced, but altogether boring. Slightly sweet finish with just a touch of hops. A sorta thirst-quenching beer, but really nothing special at all. Just a tad better than an average american standard.
