A strong lager beer with a taste close to classic lager varieties. The flavor is light and there is a suggestion of malt, together with sweetish notes and mild hops bitterness.

Picked up at a 24/7 shop in Aberdeen. Served straight from the freezer bags it should be. It pours clear lager yellow with a small bubbly white head. The aroma is sweet, white sugar, floral, cheap bottom shelf perfume, industrial cleaner, pot pourri, grain, biscuit and sweet white bread. The taste is fairly crisp, touch of dryness, plenty of super lager sweetness, heavy white sugar, breakfast cereal vibes, tangy, kick of rubbing alcohol, tingy lip action, grain, doughy, bread & butter pudding, pea ur brittle and more alcohol through the finish. Average body and moderate carbonation. To be honest this is perfectly ok when very cold. Sweet and also has that rubbing / medical alcohol vibe that numbs the mouth. I've had worse for sure.

Color dorado claro, espuma cremosa de poca retención. En nariz me ha gustado bastante, caramelo, malta, fruta madura, algo de madera...En boca es de cuerpo medio, algo dulce, bien balanceada, toques de malta, albaricoque muy maduro, madera...esta bien rica. Esta cerveza de baltika, cuyas expectativas por mi parte antes de probarla eran bastante bajas, me ha sorprendido para bien, agradable en todos los sentidos, repetiría sin ningún problema.

Bottle from a local shop close to the Record Cafe in Bradford. Golden with a light carbonation and a small bubbly head. Very strong tasting lager, but the lager elements are still noticeable, not that they're particularly tasty though. It has a sweetened aroma and taste, but lesser so in the latter, with an almost medicinal syrup styling to this.

Baltika 9, Flasche aus einem Russenmarkt bei SHA. - Bernsteinfarben, schwach trüb. - In der Nase fettes, fast klebriges helles Malz, Zuckersirup, Nuß und Plastikkleber, grundiert von vage hopfenwürziger Hopfung. - Antrunk fett, ja vulgär hellmalzig mit Karamel, matter Nuß und mächtiger, sirupartig-klebriger Malzsüße, nur knapp ausbalanciert durch nicht zu knappe aber aromatisch vage Hopfung. Milder rezent, breit; kaum kaschierter Alkohol. Im Abgang nachhallendes fettes Malz, matte Herbe und plastikartig-fuselige Noten. - Mächtiges, derbes Starkbier russischer Art, nicht ganz so übel wie befürchtet aber doch nur schwer genießbar. Konnte die Flasche nicht austrinken. (28.10.2021.)

Review based on the BJCP2015 guidelines (style 2A - adapted). Bottle 45 cl (Batch SW 15.00 - BBF 31.07.21). AROMA: initial medium-low metallic note, followed by medium-high alcohol with a medium grainy background. APPEARANCE: pale gold color and clear. medium moussy white head, with medium retention. leg formation. TASTE: medium malty flavor with slight oxidation notes (cardboard), followed by medium-high to high alcohol notes (vinous). medium bitterness with a dry finish. MOUTHFEEL: medium-high body with medium carbonation. alcoholic warmth. OVERALL: a strong pale lager with a bit too much alcohol presence and low supportive malt.
