Baltika - Grade 9 Extra Lager Review




Type: Lager

ABV: 8%

Sight: Clear but hazy golden yellow with a significant white head that hangs for a while then coats the top nicely

Aroma: On a big inhale the malt hits along with some alcohol and a touch of citrus

Taste: Sweet maltiness is strong along with a light lemony essence. From the front to back there isn't much inbetween...It finishes sour and holds the tongue well

Overall: It's okay. I wouldn't turn it down if someone offered it to me, or if i was at a bar in Moscow, but I wouldn't hunt one down again for myself. A little lopsided with sweet up front and sour at the end with nothing substantial in the middle.

Score: 7.5/10
