Decent crisp European lager. Tingles the tongue. Not pasteurized so make sure it’s not too old.

500ml bottle into a pint glass. Bottled 7/31/21, so heading towards 2 years old. Oh well.
Slightly hazy honey colored body. Faint grassy aroma. Quite sweet, mostly smooth, with a slight lagery aftertaste.

Had some of this stuff in Vilnius at a bar. Decent brew with a foamy yellowish head. Vivid carbonation, good mouthfeel, floral hops. very crushable...

Look :- Medium gold colour with a large , big bubbled head. Decent lacing.
Smell :- Malt and mild hops .
Taste :- Tart bitterness with a hint of alcohol that builds a little . Sweet fruitiness . Dry finish
Mouth feel:- Okay carbonation, a little cloying in consistency.
Overall :- A decent beer , nicely flavoured. Alcohol taste let's it down a little as does the cloying mouth feel but the bitterness and other flavours are good as is the dryness. Nothing special but certainly not bad.

Pours clear, gold in color with one quarter inch head. Taste is cereal malt and grassy hops. Medium light body, bitter with moderate carbonation. Makes for a below average semi hoppy lager. A future pass for me.

Poured from the bottle into a Libbey style pilsner glass.
Faint copper amber body with real nice clarity. Some small amounts of linear carbonation, meeting up nicely to a very eggshell like white head, making easy three fingers. Very good retention for a lager and staying power with a thick cap of two fingers.
Faint touches of caramel, but with more kind of a solvent like quality unfortunately as well. Hints a bit chemical like on the nose unfortunately, but luckily it's not very large.
Palate improves but slightly. Noticeable touches of caramel in a sort of Vienna quality, with a light mineral finish. Hints a somewhat clean mouthfeel but has some syrupy malt sweetness hinting in the finish. Slight dioxide like aftertaste, and virtually no hint of hop presence.
A relatively pedestrian lager, not too exciting but was far better than I thought it was going to turn out.
