Jan 12, 2008 Can. Golden color with thin head. Nose of corn and sweetness. Taste is a sweet corny flavor mixed with ripe vegetables. Strangely it’s the perfect beer right now...but it is still not good.

Jan 6, 2008 Bottle. This is one of those beers that I drink at Gooski’s in Polish Hill, Pittsburgh. Why? Because it’s cheap and will get you nicely buzzed. Somehow in the darkness of that dive bar, 9 just seems to make sense.
The beer tastes malty and the alcohol is not well blended. I wouldn’t drink this beer outside of Gooski’s.

Jan 3, 2008 Thanks to ghawener. Drank it in El Flor. Same as No.7. Can you say maize!! Brewed with many adjuncts which gives it the maize aroma and taste. Skunky.

Jan 2, 2008 Bottle 50 cl, instead of champagne to celebrate new years eve. Pours a clear golden with a medium white head and a sharp alcoholic smell. The taste is a mix of sweet malt and strong alcohol, almost unpleasant to drink. I didn’t really like it

Jan 1, 2008 Big 51 oz brown plastic bottle to rein in the new year. Creamed corn, vegetal, with apple juice notes. Rough and husky. A beer that means business, knowing that business is dirty.

Dec 19, 2007 .5 Liter bottle. Pours like the typical lager; a light golden with a frothy head. The taste is a crisp sweet malt and a fruity, clean quality. The finish is mostly dry and clean. It seems that this beer is hit and miss, and I got lucky. I enjoyed this beer- it is a lager, but its at least a strong one. I have a friend in Uzbekistan who said that Baltika was usually much worse. Overall, a good lager.

Dec 17, 2007 Labeled as Baltika 9 in a can--Poured a rich golden hue with a minuscule white head. Nose of sweet corn and malty booze. Sweet, creamy, sharp mouth feel. No bitter hoppiness. Finished cloying and skunky.
