Baltika No. 2 beer review

Lake Baikal in the background

Baltika is a popular brand of beer in Mother Russia.  They range from Baltika No. 2, which is a pale lager and the lightest of the bunch.  The darkest and heaviest beer is Baltika No. 9.  I am not going to review Baltika No. 0, as it is non-alcoholic (and because I can't find it anywhere).

Baltika No. 2 is not very satisfying.  It has much more body and flavor than an American light beer, but that's not necessarily good.  It tastes sweet, flat, and stale, almost like cheap champagne.  Really cheap champagne.

Next, I will try Baltika No. 3.  Burp.
