| 2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 4/5 | 6/20 | Aug 22, 2006 HAD THIS ON MY 30TH BIRTHDAY!!!1pint,9oz . brown bottle 5% ABV straw yellow, white head. Not sure how this is different from Baltika2. Smells like cereal. Not much hop aroma. This one is much more balanced than that #2. More hop bitterness on the palate in the finish. yarry (370), Waterdown, Ontario, Canada
| 1.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 2/10 | 3/5 | 2/10 | 2/5 | 5/20 | Aug 21, 2006 500ml bottle, 4.8% a/v
As promised pours with a foamy white hda and a general gold colour, nothing fancy. The smell is chemically and malty at the same time.. weird. The taste is of malt and chemicals... not very good. Drinkable but reminiscent of my teenage years drinking 40 ouncers of garbage beer.
Not recommended, unless your looking to up your count. GuilTTy (538), Cherry Hill, New Jersey, USA
| 1.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 2/10 | 3/5 | 2/10 | 2/5 | 3/20 | Jul 26, 2006 Pale yellow pour under a thin white head. Strong chemical aroma (artificial skunk). Less offensive flavor but still very weak and marginally hoppy. What the h*ll is a "first class malt?" This is a first class drain pour that actually makes a bud taste g... *cough* .... *cough*... makes a Bud taste like something. kook (2034), Perth, Western Australia, Australia

| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 4/5 | 7/20 | Jul 9, 2006 Bottle. Aroma is quite malty, with hops being very faint and in the background. Taste is VERY yeasty, like Budweiser or Coors, but has a somewhat think malt part to it.Carbonation is good, but the taste is just too overpowering. Slightly creamy, but wayyy too yeasty and malty. Not a repeat buy. skoisirius (584), Seattle, Washington, USA
| 1.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 1/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 6/20 | Jul 2, 2006 16.9 oz bottle into a Snifter glass. Pours a completely see-through light golden color with a thin and tiny bubbled white head. Aroma contains hints of yeast, malt, and Earthiness. Flavor is extremely grassy, grainy, yeasty, and mildy carbonated. The finish has a bitter note to it and dies pretty quickly. Not complex at all. Quite boring for the most part. Can be refreshing if you’re in that sort of mood, but I’ll personally pass.
