Baltika No. 5 beer review

Leningrad

Baltika No. 5 is a Golden Lager.  And, as a lager, it is much easier on the taste buds than Nos. 2 and 3.  In terms of quality, it falls somewhere between macrobrewed Korean and American lagers, but with a little more bite.

One thing that doesn't make sense in terms of nomenclature is why the 5 is not darker than the 4.  But that is something for the marketing people to answer.  Overall, it is a very drinkable beer and I can see a lot of this being downed on a hot summer afternoon.  Cheers.
