Baltika 7 Eksportnoe (Export)

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

500 ml bottle from a gift pack. pours pale yellow with a white head. over cabonated. fresh barley malt aroma with slight floral hopping. the flavour is similar but is a touch to sweet. this is an average pale lager that could be helped by more hops, or in this case hop extract. get one bonus point in overall for been super fresh tasting and free of skunk despite the green bottle.

Very pale clear pear yellow, fizzy, white head. Aroma is sweet - apples and yeast and alcohol. Taste is like aroma plus grapes and malt sweetness... light lemon hop bitterness and some lemon rind, Some late junky-ness and I would not drink many.

I had this side by side with the baltika 5, and I honestly can’t detect a difference. Same sweet corny mess. Its not awful but it’s not great either.

500ml can. Bright golden colour with a misty shading of white bubbly foam across the top. Nice sweet honey aroma that sits nicely in the nose. Clean and dry taste that finishes well. Nice balance with a smooth aftertaste.

It’s golden with a white head and an aroma of malt and fruit. The flavor has a light to moderate sweetness and notes of malt, fruit and light citrus in the finish, that also is slightly sweet.

500 ml bottle in gift pack from LCSO, served at cellar temperature in a Baltika glass.

App.: Clear bright straw with a fairly large white froth. Aroma: Some wet hay, grass, straw and light peppery hops, a little biscuity malt, slightly floral perfume, a touch of soapiness maybe? Palate: Medium body with very sparse carbonation, borders on flat. Flav.: Nice light malt profile, a touch of cardboard, lacks the green, grassy notes of the nose, still a touch floral/soapy/perfumy; dry with basically no bitterness and a pleasant, short-lived light malt finish.

Well, considering what it is and where it is from, not bad.

Bottle. Very pale yellow color, almost no head. Aroma is malts and grassy. Scent however was terrible. While the beer tasted pretty decent, it smelled of staleness and lingered around the beer forever.
