500ml bottle, from a kiosk at Lenin Street in Murmansk. Unusual both in regards to bottle and label design for Baltika. I like it, and also find the screw-top convenient. Unclear golden amber body, with small head that was reduced to a filmy layer. Malt and plum to the nose, with hints of tangerine. Too much carbonation, that makes it foamy and soapy. The aroma is definitely better than the taste. Tastes a bit like wet wool, nutmeg and honey. (Shared at our XIV Session 22.june 2011)

Bottled. Hazy orange, weak head. Sweetish yeasty, slightly cidery nose, sweet/honeyish malt notes. Bland, sweetish taste, bread, honey, slight acidity. Cidery and thin finish. Soft texture, a bit flat. Drinkable.

Medium white head. Hazy deep yellow body. Mealy papery aroma with resiny honey notes. Dry-sweet mealy papery sugary taste. Mid-bodied. Mild, mealy mouthfeel. Dryish mealy honeyish aftertaste with honeyish notes. (0.5l bottle from a street kiosk in Moscow.)

50cl bottle. Golden colour with mostly diminishes white head. Aroma is moderate malty, slightly sweet and hoppy. Flavour is moderate malty, grassy and a slightly bitterness in the final. Carbonation is medium, body is light to medium.

Flaske 0,5l - påspandert - og delt på Tårnrommet 22 Jun 11. Gyldenbrun. Middels skumdannelse. Aroma av rosiner. God. Smaken er rosin & plommer med hint av banan. Litt vassen. Mye kullsyre. Søtt helhetsinntrykk.

Pale golden cloudy pour with a tight white head. The aroma is quite nice - a bready sort of malt character with a fairly pronounced herbal hop aroma as well. Soft floral flavour with a nice balance of hops and malt. There is an unusual sort of light fruit contribution that lends a sort of melony flavour to the brew. There is a little bit of light bitterness, bit it’s quite an unusual brew. Decent stuff, really.

Dull tan. Thin head. Stale caramel/chemical aroma. I admit I was expecting a more forward-thinking beer. Lightly spicy, also caramelly. Surprisingly bland. Yeah. There’s light haze but who cares? It’s just industrial crap.

500ml screw top bottle kindly shared by Snegurochka. Unclear, golden-orange coloured body. Minimal, but lasting, white head. Pale malty nose. Lighter taste profile of pale malts and sweet fruits. A few bitter end drops. Mid-dry in the mouth. Mild and next to diluted. Possible to drink (rating session in Tromsø, 22.06.2011).
