If it's from Russia, ... is it Brewed with Love?

Another beer review from the our little group of tasters.

As usual it’s a blind tasting so that no preconceived ideas can influence the ratings.

Scores are given out of 10, (1 being a low score and 10 being the highest possible).

As writer-upperer-of-the-reviews and dedicated beer hater, I remain sober know what’s on the menu, as does the member of the team who choose it ( in this case, Andrew who gets to indulge and remains mildly sober)

No,  they are all sensible, and no-one drink drives, people either stay over or walk home or use public transport.

BEER: “BALTIKA”

6 Porter, Brewed in Russia, (Baltika” in Russian text) Premium
500 ml

Vol.Alc. 7.0%

Cat.–

(All other information on the bottle in literally microscopic Russian Cyrillic text…

Not only is the type minuscule but it also  has been rather badly printed onto the label.

We might have a fair few languages between us in this house  but Isuspect that this label may even defeat a native speaker of Russian!)
