Hazy yellow color, small white head. Aroma of bread, malt, yeast. Sweet taste of malt and bread. Medium body, high carbonation. Sweet and sour aftertaste.

6 lt for .5L at a bar in Vilnius. Reviewed from notes taken in Summer 2014. Served on-draught into a conical pint.
HEAD: White in colour, boasting nice thickness and creaminess. Nice complexion, nice consistency. Leaves even lacing as it recedes, which takes 3 minutes.
BODY: Translucent and transparent yellow-copper colour of average vibrance. No yeast/lees/sediment is visible within.
Looks surprisingly clear and filtered for an unfiltered brew. Appears well-carbonated.
AROMA: A great clean lager aroma redolent of helles malts, healthy saccharomyces, clean barley/2-row, and some nice unpasteurized unbunged wort aromatics. Some honey malt is in there too.
A pleasant aroma of mild strength. No overt off-notes or alcohol is detectable.
TASTE: Matches the aroma, with honey malt dominating. Average depth, duration, and intensity of flavour. Cohesively built, though it doesn't amount to a gestalt harmonious whole of a brew. Fairly simple in its construction. Decently balanced.
MOUTHFEEL: Smooth, wet, medium-bodied. Not oily, sticky, or syrupy. A bit too thick for the style, but overall this texture suits the taste decently. Overcarbonated.
OVERALL: Downable but unremarkable fare. I do like it, but I'm not sure I'd get it again with the wealth of more interesting beers Lithuania has to offer. I'll easily finish the glass, and it's well worth trying (especially at 6 LT per pint).
C+ (3.15) / ABOVE AVERAGE

330 ml bottle from Lithuania
Pours light hazy golden full of small carbonation bubbles, small head that fades to patchy and bubble spots on the surface, patchy downsliding lacing. Aroma is mild sweetish malt.
Taste is light sourish malty, hints of yeast, taste of honey develops towards the finish, also slight feel of alcohol. Mouthfeel is light-medium with moderate carbonation.
Overall, good and drinkable beer. One of the few pale lagers in the Baltic countries with flavour.
