Širvėnos Bravoras "Wakatu" Golden Ale. 5.20% ABV. 25 IBU. Served on-draught into a Warsteiner bierkrug at Alynas in Vilnius. Reviewed from notes taken in July 2014. Expectations are above average; I like golden ales and haven't had one in a while.
Served cold.
No bubble show forms as it's poured.
HEAD: None whatsoever. No lacing either.
BODY: Golden-copper colour of average vibrance. Translucent and transparent, with no visible yeast particulate or hop sediment.
It's decent looking golden ale overall, I guess. I'd love some frothiness, or at least some kind of head. It could be more vibrant as well. Pretty middle-of-the-road.
AROMA: Raw honey, honey malts, golden malts, and accompanying honey sweetness. Honey dominates.
There's no real hop profile. I don't pick up on any yeast aromatics, and it isn't boozy. There's not a lot going on here, but I do find the honey enticing.
Overall, it's a pleasant aroma of moderate strength.
TASTE: Honey, honey malt, golden malts. That's it. It's a painfully simple and brief flavour profile with nothing beyond the one-dimensional honey-dominant character and nothing to offer the discerning drinker. Quite boring and bland for a honey beer.
I've had one-dimensional honey brews that worked just from the freshness and evocativeness of the honey, but this is not one of them.
TEXTURE: Smooth, wet, full-bodied. Sticky. Fairly thick. It does flirt with a syrupy texture, but never quite crosses into it. Still, it's got an uneven, lumpy, and overly hefty presence on the palate for a beer with so little flavour and diversity thereof. I can't say this texture really brings out the best in the taste.
OVERALL: A forgettable honey ale marketed as a golden ale with nothing to offer the discerning drinker. This is one Lithuanian brew you can definitely miss; I had a better honey beer at this same bar nary but more than an hour afore. Its insipidness will turn off beer enthusiasts.
