Oct 27, 2003 A great wheat beer. I love the clove and Bananna. I did not know there were Russian beers until last weekend when I went to a Russian brew tasting. All of the Baltika were really good. A little richer then some other wheats but none the worse for it.

does not count  Oct 9, 2004 shoking! a russian beer that may cope with all the german tp brands (and they sell them all in russia, paulaner, franziskaner...)
no wonder that this brew is even exported to germany!

Dec 1, 2006 I have had many wheat beers, and I simply enjoyed this one the most. The taste, sweetness, and color/body are all excellently balanced. Having enjoyed Baltika 6 Porter and the unusually strong Number 9, the wheat beer is a welcome respite from the alcohol/heaviness. (#6 is brilliant, but #9 seems like it’s spiked with grain alcohol) Get this wheat beer! One fellow wrote that it’s the best Baltika he tried-- I concur wholeheartedly. No ’too strong’ banana notes or grassiness, also it’s not limp but rather does fill you up appropriately (unlike cheap, burpy corn beers). I found this beer to be an excellent companion for the crabcake meal I was enjoying at the same time--light but not fluffy.

Jun 18, 2003 Bottled(500ml). -great beer, probably my favorite wheat, honey yellow coloured, big foamy head, nice banana notes, slighty spicy, the most drinkable wheat beer I've ever tried

Wow the esters are amazing banana with subtle clove but my favorite (in a wheat) VANILLA! Taste is smooth with citrus and wheat wang with no noticeable hops. I don’t know why it has not scored higher. This would be a good one for a blind tasting!
