Baltika No. 8 Wheat beerWelcome to summer. It has been hotter than blue blazes around the Washington, DC Metro area lately, and today is no exception. So it seems like a good day for a wheat beer. As it happens, I have a bottle of Baltika №8 Wheat beer (Балтика №8 Пшеничное) in my refrigerator. (Graciously donated by Vinodel.)

Here’s what they say about it:

This beer is not filtered and contains biologically active substances that are useful for our health.

Obviously not a statement cleared by the FDA, but that’s all right.

Light straw in color and pretty clear for a wheat. Fluffy white head that hangs around a bit. Nice aroma of citrus and cloves.

Crisp, with more of that citrus flavor. Refreshing for sure. 5% ABV.
