Pale yellow, golden colored brew. Aroma and flavor consist of rice, grains and mostly cardboard.

Nothing extra special. NIce beer with some fine features but just another regular beer from Lithuania. NOt like the best of them.

500ml can (Maxima, Vilnius)
Smells like a typical eastern lager, estery and unsubtle. Quite an unpleasant shock in teh mouth. Chemical and metallic, even some alcohol. Like its kin, it improves immeasurably afater a few sips, and is estery and almost pleasant after half a can. Pale and fizzy, of course. Dry chemical astringent hoppy finish. As it warms it’s sourer, and maybe a bit pukey.

Can 500ml (Maxima, BB 01/2012)
Pale yellow color, small steady white head, lace. Rubber and corn malt in the nose. Light to medium bodied. Not very malty, watery ... very sweet pale lager, industrial taste of sweetcorn, rubber, DMS and metal. Tastes really really cheap although this is "ekstra".
