Baltika changed the design to make the 7 less visible (it’s still to the left of МЯГКОЕ), and now people think it is a new beer. The reverse side of the can continues to call it Baltika 7 Myagkoe.
Bonus: the new design boldly states “LESS BITTERNESS”
I’ve noticed a couple of London bars selling Bohem Czech Lager. Asked the barman at Craft Beet Co Covent Garden and he confirmed it was rebadged Amos. I saw why… a guy in a high vis came in and asked for a lager. The barman was able to point to it and say, “This is a Czech Lager.”.
Yeah Track add all their beers to Untappd themselves. They never use substyles like Aus/NZ IPA/Pale Ale there even if the beers only contain hops from those countries, so unless an admin has changed them they’ll always be in the Hazy/NE style on Untappd.
I see we have a fair few of Track’s beers marked as Pale Ale - Aus/NZ here so I have no complaints about changing this one too. Beers like this fit in both categories I think.
This beer https://www.ratebeer.com/beer/bosun-s-razamataz/558969/ has had the spelling of it’s name changed and is now Razzmatazz.

And new description “Blonde ale brewed with almost no aroma hops, but instead infused with a raspberry flavour from natural ingredients. The raspberry flavour is first on the nose and then comes through in the taste, but not overpowering.”
Also I would class t as “Blonde / Golden Ale - Flavoured” but that category doesn’t exist !
I’ve now had 3 from this annoying series, which doesn’t mention anything on the can about who collaborating brewers are (but the beans seem to be spilled here). I haven’t used the supposed collaborators in the beer name because it doesn’t on the can.
For the West Coast Pilsner, it appears there was another beer that was not a collaboration which had the same name but was 5.9%. Adding something to the description might avoid future confusion.
I stuffed up this one - it should be “Moffat Beach” amongst the long list of collaborators. This seems to be annual awards-related collaboration, so if you’d like to prune the name, you might do last year’s as well.
