Baltika 5 Zolotoe (Golden)

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.

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.

Anotehr fine Pale Lager from Baltika. Nothing out of the ordiery but a very good beer.

Nothing special in this beer the classic lager flavor, by the way horrible color, looks like piss :S

I have an itch that only Baltika can scratch! Now, mind you, these are in a can; the only way to enjoy a Baltika brew. Appearance: Pours a yellow body with a small, fizzy, white head. Smell: Sweet-smelling cereal nose with light floral hints. You know, the usual. Taste: Pale maltiness with a unabashed sweetness throughout -- like liquid breakfast time cereal! Hint of cooked veggies when you drink deep, so you might want to avoid that. Very skimpy on the hops, with only a very minor bitterness present. A beer that leaves you hungry for a big bowl of grits. A touch watery on the finish, with a tiny touch of grain. Mouthfeel: Medium-thin body. Medium-high carbonation. Drinkability: Good? Heavens no! But it’s not altogether terrible for being just a simple pale lager.
