bottle. Clear pale golden yellow, mid-sized white head. Malty-sourish nose. Medium-bodied, malty, slightly hoppy with a sour and grainy character. Not my cup of tea.

500 ml bottle. Golden body with a moderate white head. Vague malty aroma with a hint of apple. Flavor is just another industrial lager, perhaps a bit on the sweeter side.

Pours piss yellow into a shaker. White sickly head. Macro adjunct aromas. Sweet and crisp upfront, turns cloying in the finish. Unpleasant.

Finally I tried the lager beer of Baltika (3). I expected a much better beer after having the baltika 6 (porter). However all I tasted was an average , unispired lager.

16.9 oz. bottle from Wine Warehouse in CHarlottesville. Best before Sept. 16, 2008. Crystal clear and very pale gold color with a fizzy, quickly dissipating 2-finger head. Very grassy, somewhat grainy and slightly skunky aroma. Very grainy taste with some bitterness, sweat and green apple. Mouthfeel is a little too thick for a beer of this nature, but it does still have its refreshing qualities if you drink it quickly.
