Getrunken im Zug von Baku nach Tiflis im Sommer 2014 und gekauft in einem kleinen Geschäft neben dem Bahnsteig. Es schmeckt primär eigenartig, da es Richtung Bockbier geht, obwohl es nur 4,2 % alc hat. Interessant, aber nicht wirklich gut

Als ich dieses Bier am Bahnhof Baku getrunken habe und gemerkt, dass der Name "Baltika" öfters am Etikett zu finden war, stelle ich mir die beiden Biere nebeneinander vor. Es mag Parallelen geben, aber das Xirdalan ist weitaus weniger süffig. Überhaupt ist es eher schwachbrüstig. Kann man trinken, aber kein wirkicher Genuss.

Can courtesy of Benzai, thank you sir! My 150th country rating. Sadly, I have never been to Azerbaijan. Clear pale yellow color, thin white head. Aroma of papery white pepper. Taste is plain lemon, more paper. Inoffensive.

Bouteille 50cl @ RBBSG III, courtesy of Benzai. Dorée, col blanc fin. Arôme de corn malt, léger houblonné fermenté et grains. Palais offre ce profil typique de lager est-européenne avec un malt au penchant doux, qcq poignées de houblons nobles ajoutant un fleuri faiblard. ok, mais sans plus.

500 ml. green bottle sampled @ RBBSG III. Thanks to Benzai! Clear golden. Nose is heavy on skunk with some sweet grains in the back. Tastes of sweet corn mash, some grains & plenty of skunk. Fizzy. Eh another lousy pale lager.

Bottle share in the CBC queue. Thanks to Benzai for this country tick. Pretty much a clear pale gold beer, small white head. Palate is light and semi dry. Fine carbonation. Sweet papery pale malt. Sweet watery mild citrus. Light papery finish with some floralness. Delightful!
