Beer Post #7

This popular Russian lager, Classic #3, has a mild initial palate that finishes with a hoppy bitterness that dominates. It is heavier than most American domestics, like Budweiser, but that is what it reminded me of. I would characterize this as a session beer for someone inclined to make an evening of it, but it wouldn't be my first choice.

This company, Baltika, has been around since Soviet times. It is a large manufacturer with plants scattered around Russia. They offer ten different beer styles
numbered 0-9. I'll update you later as I have a number 9 extra (ESB) in my frig.

I had my Classic #3 last night with homemade chicken noodle soup. Mmm...soup.

Cost: H3.15 ($0.62) for the 1/2 liter.
