Sep 3, 2005 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.

Nov 2, 2007 Gold color. An ordinary pale lager. Corn and sweet malt. Its redeeming quality is that it is not offensive.

Jan 5, 2010 Sample at the "From Russia With Suds" tasting on 01/02/10: The beer is a clear yellow color with a thin white head that diminishes to a film quickly. Spotty lacing on the glass. Aroma of honey and malt. Light body with flavors of sweet honey, grass and malt. The finish is sweet with malt and floral notes in the aftertaste. Not a bad beer, the flavors just aren’t assertive enough in the end. Slightly below average overall.

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!

Jul 24, 2009 One of the options on the Russian river boat MS Taras Shevchenko cruising down the Dnieper. I had a few 500ml bottles as a partner to lunch and dinner. Clear, light golden body with a lasting, lacing head. Mild grass-floral aroma. Perfumed taste of pale malty sweetness followed by a few hints of hops. Smooth, clean and food friendly. Reasonably alright industrial lager (Dnieper River, Ukraine, mid-July 09).

Jul 13, 2003 Corn nose, pale yellow, pours a large white head. Malt flavour, followed by a nice bitterness. Fresh, crisp, a bit grainy. Average.

Oct 13, 2007 From the bottle, pours golden yellow with a tall fizzy white head. Dry grainy malt nose, strawn and light honey flavors. Hops were faint, but more present then most pale lagers. Overall a decent pale lager, good for its simplicity.

Jun 7, 2002 A rather unpleasant Russian lager that’s really not recommended. Sadly, it comes in really big bottles so you’re generally in for the ’long haul’ when you buy this brew. Odd, somewhat unpleasant taste.
