2.9 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 15/20 StefanSD (1795) - Lakeside, California, USA - SEP 4, 2007500 ml bottle from Bevmo. Pours a yellow gold with just the slightest bit of cloudiness. Head is white and sudsy but fades quickly. Aroma is very weak with just a hint of straw. Flavor is one dimensional--light bananas in a light corn syrup. Mouthfeel was a bit thin and watery with an after-film, the carbonation was light. Finish is light and dry with bananas. Overall, I expect much more in the way of bold flavors from a fine hefe, and while this is a good product it is not a great one.

Very carbonated yellow wheat with a big white head. A lemon aroma. Nice sweetness and lemoney wheat with a light to medium body. Differs a bit from german wheats in a positive way. Refreshing and nice.
3.7 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20 wildbeercat (118) - Tucson, Arizona, USA - APR 14, 2013
16.9 fl oz / 500mL bottle into a pint glass. Served cold.
Aroma: Spices. Gingerbread. Cinnamon. Snickerdoodles!
Appearance: Completely transparent yellow. No cloudiness like most heffs :( big head that faded quickly.
Taste: Nice spices! Not too strong, and quickly give way to bready malt and yeast. Even though they’re pretty mild, they are nice, subtle flavors that work. Why complicate things?
Palate: Light body, but it covers the palate nicely. Don’t be confused; light body, but not light flavors (they’re mild, but definitely present). Nice little finish.
Overall: Really nice beer! I like the spiciness, and I like even more that it’s not in your face. I like how the flavors aren’t weak, but are nice and mild. This is a great beer.

From the 25 fl. oz. bottle marked 07.0812-07:24/07.0813-5W. It pours a murky pale yellow with a foamy white head. There is a lively aroma of wheat and apple with a fresh hop note too. The body is light to medium. The taste has a bold wheat and apple or lemon quality to it along with the yeast that envelopes everything into one overarching flavor. One of the better Baltika offerings.

It is a nice beer, but it is behind so many others of the same type. A common wheat beer.

Bottle via Sloth......still wondering about you Bertly. Nose and appearance seem average for a wheat beer. First taste is lackluster wanna be German wheat beer. It truly turns the corner for the worse at the finish which is sour and foul. I nearly spit it out, but I had just painted the room. Ugh.. this was bad
