Overly sweet malt flavor. Heavy carbonation, the specific carbonation and overall mouthfeel is reminiscent of a corn syrup soft drink, very artificial.

450ml can. Pours clear gold pale yellow with a tall white head. Aroma is malt, floral, plastic. Taste is medium sweet, malt, floral. Light bitter finish. Light to medium bodied. Drank it side-by-side with the old Baltika 7. This is clearly a new recipe, but it isn’t better. Sweeter.

Sample thanks to Grumbo, shared with Blackhaddock. Pours pale gold with a fine mist, white head. Gently sweet lager malt aroma. Flavour profile delivers moderately sweet grainy unfiltered wheat character, soft caramel sweetness. Ok.

Shared Panda with minutemat at my place on 10th April 2024. Cheers Graham (Grumbo). Light haze in the golden body, white top. Wheaty, grainy with a honey like sweetness within the usual banana and clove/spicy flavours. Decent.
