Bottle 40 cl. Pours a clear yellow with a small, roughish, white head. Aroma of brewing cereals - more corn than malt. Medium body, sweet brewing syrup and very little malt feel. Hint of malt. Next to no bitterness. Swill. 090125

Bottle shared courtesy of Grumbo. Aroma of wheat, banana, rye, malt loaf, bubblegum and herbal notes. Taste is banana, grassy, slightly metallic and odd finish. Not for me

Notes from 12/28/2008. 500ml can purchased from the corner Korean market for 79 cents. I note the ever growing BA effect by the label stuck to the back of the can: BALTIKA #1 - Premium ale, crafted with the finest ingredients, is brewed to meet the standards of the most discerning ale enthusiasts. Pours into my pint glass a shade lighter then ginger ale. A floating wispy bleached head reaches & dies just like champagne would. The lightest of remnants floating in between the rush of traffic to the top. Smell is surprisingly pleasant, hinting with wheaty esters of banana & bubblegum. A very faint metallic tone, with a zest-like sense of sweetness overlaying a sparse layer of grain. Taste & feel is seltzer-ish. Ever so slight citric bitterness tarts the grain, numbing my palate a bit, but instills an image of a very refreshing & tolerant beer. Slight, slight caramelization as it warms. It positively lacks much of the headache inducing phenols I find in most low priced Euro lagers. Satisfying. :)

470ml green bottle. Aroma is malty with a touch of raisin. Taste is sweet, malty, touch of raisin but then a skunky aftertaste. Moderate body. Could be better.

Fogged deep brown with a decent beige head. Aroma and taste: Dark malts, chocolate & orange peel, the rest is lost behind the flavouring. Light sweet, low bitterness. Mouth feel: Medium minus body, average carbonation. Summary: Nothing interesting.
