568ml aluminum can purchased at an Eki supermarket in Vilnius, Lithuania.
5.20% ABV.
Dull copper colour, with a generic off-white cap that takes about 3 minutes to recede.
The aroma promises what the taste (unfortunately) ends up delivering:
Suffers from a classic cheap lager taste, with an off-puttingly buttery mouthfeel supporting a cheap malted barley base filled out with overly sweet maize adjunct and a bit of caramalt (which is probably just in there for colour). Hop profile is nonexistent - not that that's not to style, but a bit of Noble or Saaz grassiness wouldn't hurt, nor would some floral character. Malt syrup is suspected going by its overly thick, sticky mouthfeel, which brings drinkability-shattering overdone heft and weight to the brew.
It'd be imbalanced if it wasn't so simple and shallow, but there's really little to be balanced. The absence of flavour and ruinous mouthfeel make this a budget brew for the discerning drinker to skip, but at sub-1 euro pricing for over 500ml, I imagine they're targeting mainly students and uber-casual drinkers.
In this market category, there's far better out there - including beers sitting on the shelf next to this one in supermarkets across the country.
Don't bother.
