Baltika 7 Eksportnoe (Export)

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

Found this one bottled in Belvidere, Illinois. Very light yellow pour with a rapidly dissipating, carbonated white head. Very bubbly, like champagne. Lemony sourness dominates the nose with a bit of hay, dry, with an indication of canned corn towards the very end. Finishes clean but why bother?

Green bottle. Pours a clear light straw color with a thick white head that laces down the glass. Lots of carbonation on the sides of the glass. The aroma is light malt and only a bit of cardboard. Fortunately I got this beer from a good seller who kept it in a box. Very light body, with a typical light lager flavors. Overall, not bad for the style.

looks like piss. tastes like lemon pledge and skunk piss. i’d rather burn in hell with all my friends. fuck this shit

Pours pale yellow with thin head. Mild grassy aroma. Flavor... what flavor? Tastes like soda water but a little dusty. This is not beer.

Canned. Poured clear pale golden with a short-lived cap of white head and some spotty lacing. The aroma picked up bushels of artificially-sweetened corn, banana, and ass... sweet overall and a real turn-off. Flavor was powerfully sweet with corn, dried grains, and a hint of banana extract present... mild floral and hay-like bitterness.. left a sticky, sweet, and unpleasant finish. Hegher carbonation. This made its way to the drain rather quickly.

This is standard BMC type crap. A very pale yellow color with a non pleasing white head. The aroma is full of corn and lemons. The flavor is a little sweet with some hay present. Overall swill and nothing else.

500 ml bottle (BBD 04/05/06) from Woodmans on Gammon Road served in a Caryle pint glass, frigid. Big, puffy, surpisingly long-lasting snow-white head even laces a bit, topping a dull clear yellow-gold body....reasonably fresh honey-malty aroma, lightly grassy-hoppy (saaz?) aroma, with a nice bit of pungent weedy character evident.....sweet, somewhat sticky with light pale malt, a hint of the crisp grassy hops, honey; gets a bit fatiguing rather quickly but quite fresh and clean with no off notes....watery, low to moderate carbonation, dull short finish. I would certainly not drink this every day, but this is surprisingly decent; I think I just lucked out and got a really fresh-seeming, well-cared-for bottle.

Light golden color with a decent size white head. Aroma is lightly malty with a tinge of sourness. Flavor is somewhat sweet and malty.Pretty one dimensional, but not too bad.
