Pale yellow with a white head. Aroma of grass, straw and pale malts. Very light and watery. Not much malt or hop flavor. Bland.

Pours clear pale straw yellow with white diminishing head. Aroma and taste is bland lager. Sweet, bitter, fresh and slightly alcoholic. Sweet aftertaste.

Bottle, LCBO gift pack 2009. Pours a very light yellow with very little head. Mild not much there aroma. Taste is slightly corny/skunky with very little aftertaste. This has less flavour than the 5. Standard export eurolager with nothing offensive but nothing to recommend it either.

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.
