Baltika No. 4 beer review

Minsk motorcycle factory

Ah, much better.  Baltika No. 4 Dark Lager is hundreds of times better than Nos. 2 and 3.  4 is crisp, slightly fruity, and reminds me of some microbrew I had from the Pacific Northwest (I can't remember the name of it).  But I would definitely not describe it as a dark lager.  In a pint glass, the reddish brown hue is gorgeous.  The cloudy, almost muddy, appearance of the beer made me suspect that it was going to be heavy.  I was wrong.  It's not light, but it was much lighter than I thought it would be.  I still have to try Nos. 5 through 9, but I think I have already found my favorite.
