Beer "B altika 3" is a drink that was especially popular in Russia in the nineties of the last century. This product had a huge army of fans. A lot of time has passed, but even today many consider it a real achievement of domestic brewing.

Product Description

B altika 3 beer is a typical light lager according to the production technology. It is produced by bottom fermentation from the most common raw materials: pale barley m alt, water and hop products. Nevertheless, according to experts, this drink has several characteristic features:

• pleasant freshness that is felt from the first sip;
• rich taste;
• pale yellow with a slight golden hue;
• long aftertaste, as a result of which all facets of the drink are gradually revealed;
• fluffy and fairly stable foam, consisting of small bubbles.

Usually beer "B altika 3"bottled in standard containers of different sizes:

• 0.5 and 1.0 liter glass bottles and cans;
• plastic dishes of 1500 and 2500 milliliters.

This drink is good not only for quenching thirst. It is a pleasure to drink on any occasion. It is good to use fish or meat (beef, lamb or veal) as a snack. True, some consumers believe that B altika 3 beer tastes too bitter, which is not entirely pleasant. Many are sure that the reason lies in the incomprehensible chemical composition of the product. But manufacturers claim that it contains nothing but natural raw materials.

Drink strength

This beer was first released in 1992. Then it was called "Light" and contained 3.8 volume percent of alcohol. But given the high consumer demand and existing European standards, the manufacturer decided to slightly change the indicators of the B altika 3 drink itself. How many degrees are contained in such a product today?

According to international standards, the strength of beer is measured in "volume percent". Sometimes they are called degrees. This indicator is the ratio of two quantities: the volume of anhydrous dissolved alcohol and the entire drink. As a rule, it is measured as a percentage. Some beer lovers mistakenly believe that the number that is in the name of the product is its fortress. In fact, this is just a serial number in the assortment list of drinks of this brand."B altika" under No. 3 today is called "Classic" and already contains 4.8 percent of alcohol by volume. This is not much at all, considering that in other varieties of the same brand, this indicator is much higher.

Draft beer

Sometimes the manufacturer supplies draft beer "B altika 3" to bars and other drinking establishments. Kegs with a capacity of 30 liters are used as containers. Many beer lovers agree with experts that such a product is much tastier and he althier than bottled.

There are very specific justifications for these statements:

1. During pasteurization, the product heats up to 80-90 degrees. At this temperature, almost all the beneficial bacteria that it contains are destroyed. This negatively affects the quality of the drink itself.
2. After pumping into kegs, the beer additionally “ripens”. In addition, enriched with carbon dioxide, it acquires additional flavor and aroma.
3. Bottled beer is designed for a long shelf life (up to 6 months). At the same time, its taste deteriorates noticeably over time. In kegs, according to the norm, the drink should be stored under certain conditions for no more than 2 months. In practice, the goods are sold in a couple of weeks. During this time, he practically does not have time to deteriorate.

But some ardent supporters of bottled beer strongly disagree with these arguments and continue to purchase their favorite product in the already familiar glass container.
