Baltika 3 Klassicheskoe (Classic)

Brewed by Baltika Brewery (Baltic Beverages Holding - Carlsberg)
Style: Pale Lager
St. Petersburg, Russia

Pours clear golden with a white head. Aroma is light malt and hop. Flavor is grainy malt with a slightly bitter hop finish.

"Extremely pale gold with a one inch noisy cap and is reducing fast, the last skiff of head seems to be lasting forever. Brew looks flat due to a total lack of carbonation bubbeling up. This stuff stinks there was an explostion of skunk when the bottle was first opened. theres nothing here but skunk grass, some sweet grains and moldy apple. Nat my girly friend says it smells like when you’ve made out with a drunk guy at the bar so I guess this means drinking this beer is the same as making out with a dude. Where the hell is the flavor there is nothing here, the flavor is very watery and has bread in the finish, if i try really hard i can tast moldy apple I think, maybe a touch grass. Where the hell is the flavor???? This flavorless boring and a waste of time but didn’t taste bad and no matter how hard I try I can’t think of any reason to drink this."

Pours a golden color with a white head. Grainy aroma with some hop character as well. Flavor is malty as well and a little thicker on the palate then most pale lagers. Dry finish with a little bit of some hops.

I - and my lovely girlfriend - greatly enjoyed this beer. For me, it took me back to a short trip to Eastern Europe, where I drank many beers in this style. For her, it reminded her of home. We had this beer out of the bottle, so I have no comment about head or color. The smell is malty. It tasted good with a slightly sweet finish. We shared this beer on Brighton Beach, right near "Little Russia." They have a great selection of beers there and I can’t wait to return.

Bottle from case and keg. Pale yellowish. White head. Malty and grainy on the nose. Some hints of apples maybe. Flavor is weak and somewhat shitty. Malty, grainy and a small amount of fruit. Not worth drinking again IMO.
