1. Has to be well chilled before supping.
2. From can, must be poured into a glass for best enjoyment.
3. Has very good carbonation, and good head retention and lacing.
4. Very little hop kick.
5. Taste of corn and sweet notes.
6. Easy drinking and refreshing
7. Have consumed 8 cans now, over 2 days, and consider this beer is now, pretty damn good.

Volfas Engelman "Volfas Engelman Rinktinis"
,586 L can coded "15.04.2023 09.04.2024 22:02". Sampled on 27.03.2024.
Notes via stream of consciousness: A clear golden body is capped by an inch or more of fluffy bright white foam. The head retention appears to be decent and I can see a lot of small bubbles rising within. The aroma displays a fairly strong apple-like note over sweet malt with some grassiness and just a touch of herbal character. The apple is acceptable for a lager but probably stronger than it should be, indicating a less than desirable, quick fermentation. The sweetness of the malt suggests adjunct but I'm not sure about that yet, and the grassiness might be coming from either the grain or the hops or both. Personally, I'd like more hops overall, but I have to say that this is pretty standard, and actually a little bit more than many others offer. On to the taste then... well there are no surprises here; the nose does not lie. The label lists water, barley malt, and hops as the ingredients so it's not an adjunct lager but it is on the sweet side. The apple remains but the hops are a bit clearer. There'e just enough bitterness to keep it balanced although it's teetering on the edge of becoming sticky or cloying. I would imagine that if you drank two of these in a row it would start to build up on your palate. I think that the flavor is better than the aroma, and that overall, worldwide, it's far better than average. In the mouth it's medium bodied and crisp. The head actually held up fairly well, and it's left some nice lacing about the glass which is great. This is a Lithuanian beer and I know that they prefer a slightly sweeter beer in that region so it's a little hard to ding them for that overall as they're just producing what their customers want.

Poured from a "Pinta" bottle.
Bottle shape is unique.
Pours a light brassy yellow with a quickly fading head.
Smells of light malts with a faint scent of hops.
Mouthfeel is good, very refreshing.
It has a bit of a mineral aftertaste but finishes clean with a light malt aftertaste.
It's not bad, but not great either.

A: Pours a clear pale to medium yellow in color with moderate amounts of active visible carbonation rising quickly from the bottom of the glass and moderate pale golden yellow + straw yellow colored highlights. The beer has a two finger tall sudsy foamy bright white head that reduces to a handful of small to medium sized patch of thin film surrounded by a large patch of slightly mottled very thin film covering the remainder of the surface of the beer and a thin ring at the edges of the glass. Light to moderate amounts of lacing are observed.
S: Moderate aromas of cereal grain malts with a light to moderate amount of grainy sweetness with very light aromas of grassy + herbal hops. Very light aromas of lager yeast.
T: Upfront there are moderate flavors of cereal grain malts with a light to moderate amount of grainy sweetness. That is followed by light flavors of lager yeast. Finally there are light flavors of grassy + herbal hops which contribute a light amount of bitterness which fades away relatively quickly.
M: Light to medium bodied with moderate amounts of carbonation. Slightly crisp upfront with a clean finish.
O: Easy to drink with well hidden alcohol and a pleasant crispness. Serviceable but not a beer that I would search out again but definitely a beer I could have a few of...
