I think Zolotoe is Russian for Miller. This uninteresting and insipid beer was had at a ecclectic 30th b-day party for a Romanian friend of mine...somehow, this too was invited. I had it in a bottle but I’d classify the aroma as bready and subtle and not in an appealing way. Ther may have been a slightly grassy taste to it as well. the appearance was golden and full. This was a light, uninspired taste that went down unbalanced with a poor aftertaste. It will be a cold Russian winter when I sample this again Хуйня beer!

Nov 2, 2008 A decent lager with notes of honey and citrus. Not great, but drinkable. Fair overall.

Oct 26, 2008 This one had a nice skunky taste. Crystal clear yellow with a bright white head. I wasn’t too high on this beer but it definitely wasn’t terrible.. If you want a good beer from Baltika, try the porter.

Oct 17, 2008 Clear bottle, pale golden color, tall head that lasts, mild aromas, medium nectar with lazy effers. Possesses a malty sweetness with a mild bittering on the finish. Not bad but not good either. I like Coors better.

Sep 20, 2008 pours a clear pale yellow with a thin white head that didspates rapidly, above average carbonation, no lacing.
smell is of sweet grain, few hops, some citrus.
taste is crisp, grain, some malt, few hops, some lemon, ends dry with a touch of bitterness.

Sep 8, 2008 After working my way through some really vile offerings from AB, it was a relief to find something drinkable to wash it all down with. This was clear gold with a nice white head and good lacing. Nose was light caramel malts and floral hops. Medium mouthfeel. Flavor is big on malts and the finish is dry. Simple, but drinkable lager.
