Poured from a 470ml bottle .
Pours a dark straw colour , no haze and a thin head that's gone quickly leaving no real lacing . The smell is of grass , alcohol and malt and little else and the taste is of Sweet grass and pine , thankfully the alcohol smell didn't make it to the taste , avoiding it tasting rough , it's quite smooth . Mouthfeel is a bit syrupy, decent carbonation.
Overall a really simple beer , it does what it does and it does it pretty well . The flavour is full and uncomplicated.

Not bad to be honest. Had quite a few Baltikas and didn’t quite like them all but this one was alright. Smelled decent and even tasted too for a while, but the feel and aftertaste of it was a little - weird, so to speak. Once it warmed a bit, it got slightly better and the feel kind of balanced itself out, still there was something about it that could have been slightly better. Was okay nevertheless, was the best Baltika so far. A bit on the sweet side but mot overwhelming. Hop bitterness was also okay too. Hell, what am I complaining about? It was okay.

A- Cool pull tab to open the bottle! This pours a dark yellow/golden color....almost like a dark amber color like when a person is dehydrated lol.....it is very clear and the head, which is super white to begin with and about two full fingers in thickness, quickly subsides into nothing really, except for a small thin patch that moves around the top of the liquid, due to the very aggressive, large carbonation bubbles that are rising in many columns swiftly, like a ginger ale. There is zero in terms of lacing as well, but rather an oily looking film that covers the inside of the glass. Overall it looks like a cheap brew....what else can I say?!
S- This has a sweet boiled corn aroma overall, with adjuncts like corn syrup and rice maybe, buttery diacetyl distinctness, raw brewers yeast, raw dough, subtle dry grass and/or grain, muted toffee or dark caramel and the finish is of mild pome orchard fruits. The finish smells somewhat cloying and syrupy sweet.
T- Flavors follow suit to the aromas, with plenty of sweet yeast and bread like qualities, dry and almost astringent adjunct grains (mainly boiled cow corn), microwave popcorn butter chemical, mild continuation of the orchard fruit flesh and pome, corn syrup bitterness right at the back of my palate, and a mild attempt at anything resembling real barley malt (extract perhaps?). The finish lingers with more syrupy sweetness combined with more of a bittering flavor over any hop presence.
M/O- Heavily carbonated and medium bodied, it is easy enough to drink, but, if I'm going to drink an adjunct type lager, I'll just pick something that is a buck a beer! This is overly sweet yet bitter.....Im out on this one....not sure how it has won so many awards....did the judges burn their tongues before the taste test??

Good head, but no aroma.
Tastes pure, amazing hops...wow.
This is amazing beer. It's surprising that they sell it in Ukraine, but they do so I shall drink it ; )

330 ml green bottle with pull-off cap, courtesy of Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. ABV is 5.4%. Very pale yellow colour, big head. Sweetish fruity and grassy aroma, also notes of candy. Sweet flavour, far too sweet for a pale lager, notes of fruit and candy. Low bitterness. Not my kind of beer.

Clear yellow color with a foamy white head. Grain, grass, and corn notes. Fairly strong carbonation. Lighter in body, but I wouldn’t call it weak either. Decent lager.

L: Pours a dark yellow/gold with a somewhat thin white head.
S: Sweet-grains, corn, bready, has a funky smell too.
T: Follows the nose, sweet upfront from the malts, but balances out perfectly with some floral hops for a subtle bitter finish.
F: Medium-bodied, higher carbonation, quite refreshing, very smooth & crisp.
O: Not a bad brew for the style.
