A: Pours a clear, pale straw color with a white frothy and moderate diminishing head. There is a ton of visible carbonation.

S: slight buttery corn malt presence on the nose.

T: The beer starts off with a slight buttery sweetness before yielding to a sour citrus and lemony wet finish. There is some lemony herbal hopping and lemongrass on the finish. Overall the palate is overly sweet and buttery with some sour bittering hoppiness in the finish and comes off rather bland.

M: slick and buttery and surprisingly flat considering the vigorous carbonation.

D: a struggle to finish. quite bland and boring

A friend brought me a can from Vilnius. I can't say I was impressed. It was pale yellow and poured with two fingers of foam, smelling like a well-used dish cloth and corn- an ominous sign! The taste was light and sweet with some breads and a bitterness, the sensation of alcohol in my nose on expiration. Seek out only in an emergency.
