May 9, 2005 A bit bland this beer is, but overall, a refreshing Hefe, a nice sour taste, but nothing much dominates. I can see lots of sediment in the bottom. An ok Hefe.

May 1, 2005 hazy, golden color, nice head. the smell assaults you with banana, which continues with the flavor. this one was much to banana-y for me to enjoy. a disappointment to me.

May 1, 2005 Nice lemon-banana aroma and good wheat body and flavor, but a strange metallic finish creeps in.

Apr 29, 2005 Updated: Jun 13, 2005(Bottle 50 cl) Very orangey, very hazy, fine head. Extremely fruity with lots of wonderful esters. The kind of brew that makes wheat-beers a slice of heaven. Top-version of a German Hefeweizen - better than most German varieties actually. 030604

Apr 24, 2005 Updated: Apr 25, 2005Baltika Brewery brews a great Baltic Porter (#6) and brews some not so good beers (#3,#4,#9). All are available at a South Jersey liquor store for $23 USD (case of twenty 500ml). Nice part about the deal is you can mix the case. I mixed two bottles of #8 and was happily surprised with the Hefeweizen. Great pour, fluffy white head and lemon yellow body. Banana aroma evident as soon as I popped the cap. An underlying cirtrus flavor. Baltika #8 is a best buy unfiltered wheat beer for under $1.50 USD a bottle.

Apr 19, 2005 2004 bottle. Pours a bright yellow-gold color, with plenty of chunky sediment at the bottom, and very hazy throughout. Large, foamy white head is well-retained. Aroma has notes of bubble gum and banana, with a bit of sweet malt and wheat dryness. Flavor incorporates the malt and yeast very well. I have always been a big fan of Baltika beers malt profile, though it may be a bit on the simple/sweet side. Not much indication of noble hops here, but no one says it has to be hoppy. Though Baltika does not have a very well-respected name, I really enjoyed this one and found no glaring faults.
