Description
Voronezh brewery, one of the oldest Baltika's breweries, celebrated its 80th anniversary in 2016.

Voronezh is considered to be the cradle of both Russian fleet and Russian beer. Brewing barley was first planted in Voronezh province as far back as the XVII century at the decree of Peter the Great who himself was fond of the amber drink.

In 1936, the capital of the black-earth region (as the Voronezh region is called) attracted the attention of the Soviet government. According to the construction plan designed for 14 years, an eight-storied brewing giant was to be built in the city with the annual production capacity of 30 thousand hectoliters of beer and 5 thousand hectoliters of nonalcoholic beverages. It was then that the Council of Ministers of the USSR signed the order on construction of a brewery in Voronezh.

500ml bottle. Pours clear gold with a medium-sized white head. Aroma is grass meadows, spicy hop. Taste is light sweet, malt, grass. Light to medium bitter finish. Light to medium bodied. I thought it would be yet another Eurolager, but it turned out to be an okay Helles.

Bottled. Golden-orange beer with a small, white head. It has a pleasant, but weak aroma of hops and malt. The flavor is malty and hoppy, with some grassy notes. Thin body and a lightly dry finish. (060518)
