Dec 26, 2008 Bottled@HBF2005. Notebook said "NAPHAC", which probably was my attempt to write cyrillic and try finding it out. Pale golden colour, not much head. Aroma is grain and quite lagery. Flavour is a standard lager with not much interesting.

Feb 20, 2006 Bottled(500ml). -pale golden coloured, medium quick-disappearing head, low carbonation, standard pils nose, harsh taste with no hops at all, drinkable but nothing more than that

Jul 3, 2005 Bottled. This one is totally not my kind of lager. Skunky hops, thin, nasty bitterness. Drinkable but not enjoyable.

Dec 11, 2003 2001 bottle.
Hmm well sorry to go against the grain, but I liked it. Especially since it was still quite drinkable after over 2 years. Bottle conditioned, aroma is a medium sweet barley smell, with some good sour lagered yeast, musty. There is a great bitter spicy element in this beer. Finishes strong and lightly malty. I will admit the body is a bit soapy tasting, but not watery, AND, I drank this at about 68 degrees! Good hint of fruitiness in the malt. This would be great, fresh in Russia

Feb 27, 2003 Very harsh and chemical for an "elite beer" as label says. Typical Baltika off-flavors are still there.

Dec 19, 2002 Bottled. Straw gold, head starts well but drops leaving a thin white oil slick on the surface. Starts well with a bit of sweet malt but in the mouth it is sweet and fruity with a faint marzipan taste before developing into a cloying sweet saccharine like finish

Nov 21, 2002 Light golden color. Sweet aroma, smells like a macro american brew. White head lingers around. Sweet and smooth, delicately hopped up finish. I think I dont likey.

Oct 9, 2002 Light gold in colour with a good sized head. Quite a sweet, malty lager. Its almost a Fosters, although marginally superior.
