Bottle. Pours a clear yellow with little head and no lace, ends up a flat looking clear liquid. Aroma is sryrupy sweet, lightly malty, lightly of cooked vegetable (why does that keep coming up?) with a body that is flat and watery and overly thick both. blech. Flavor is much of the same sweetish malt, light bread. Finish is lame, with flat dough taste and little bitterness. Overall, this is the suck but not as bad as that last one.

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.
