Baltika, Classic Lager Number 3 (Russia) 
Brewed in St Petersburg, Baltika is now distributed in the UK by Scottish Courage. This very pale coloured lager has a thick white head that dissipates quickly. the nose is very hoppy, with an emerging suggestion of sweet caramel and a touch of honey, and delicate floral notes. On the palate it is a touch bland, with a slightly soapy character before decent hoppy, bitter flavours of endive and toasty grain, and a warming, malty finish. It is light and doesn't have a lot of bite to it, though it is a decent beer. 4.8% ABV, 50cl, �1.59, Tesco Metro.  |  |
