Day 174 - Baltika 2 Lager (Svetloye)



Baltika Brewery - Baltika 2 Lager (Svetloye)
Saint Petersburg, Russia (RUSSIA)
ABV 4.7% Calories 140*


The 4th Baltika on my list - another dud. Although yesterday's Wheat Ale was pass-ably refreshing, this Pale Ale again lacks any distinctive taste or any hoppy goodness. Baltika is the the 2nd largest brewery (Heineken being the largest) and actually numbers its beers from 1-10 ('0' is a non-alcoholic drink) - hopefully I can taste all 10, but inevitably Russia isn't know for its beers so it should stick with vodka, communism, and leggy super models.
