1.42 litre bottle. Pours clear brown-cold with no head. Aroma is malt, butterscotch, dough. Taste is caramel, grain, cardboard. Almost flat. Very similar to Samara Cheshsky Khmel. Bad, even in terms of Russian macro lagers.

1.42 litre PET bottle. Pours dark gold almost brown with no head. Aroma is dough, bread, tea, caramel malt, very small touch of hops. Taste is caramel, grain. Almost flat, but this might be down to how it was transported. To me it feels like a provincial "nefiltrovannoe".

500ml bottle. Pours pale yellow with a small head that quickly fades. Aroma is corn, lemon, cereal. Taste is sweet, water, corn, notes of metal, lemon. The transparent bottle was a warning that it would suck.

500ml bottle. Beer named after a Russian city (Gorky was the name of Nizhny Novgorod from the early '30s until the fall of the USSR), but not actually made there. Pours straw yellow with a small soapy white head. Simple aroma of malt and grain. Dry and slightly bitter finish. Mild and drinkable. Very cheap too.

Straw colour with large bubbles and rapidly dissipating head. Faint aroma with a little tiny bit of malt and hop. Light flavour is slightly malty, mostly neutral.

Baltika’s branch brewery in Samara produces the regional Samara brand beers, which I’ve found from Kazan to Tashkent. The light has a pale straw colour and no sign of a head. The light aroma is grainy. The palate is cidery and grainy. The body is light. The finish is quick and cidery. Essentially there are no redeeming features.
