Brewed by Davra
Style: Pale Lager
Pakruojis, Lithuania

Serve in Dimpled mug, English pint, Lager glass, Shaker

330ml clear plastic bottle (Bambalyne, Vilnius)
Smells of hot milk with some honey, a bit shocking initially. Clear plastic bottle really doesn’t sell this to me visually, 2’s generous. But it’s an OK gold with a tight white head and OK lacing. Milky buttery and sweet taste, just a lick of hops at the back of the mouth. Slick palate, that diacetyl sliminess in places. Finish is doughy - cake dough as much as bread dough. Way too sweet, and definitely with that Lithuanian quirkiness.

Small white head doesn’t last. Yellow body. Light funky earthy aroma with herbal floral notes. Dry-sweetish fruity grainy floral taste with sugary buttery notes. Mild, soft mouthfeel, faintly watery. Dryish dusty strawy aftertaste with buttery notes. Light, fresh, incredibly easy to drink, and subtle. Really nice. (0.5l draft, Alaus Namai, Vilnius.)

Draught at Alus Namai, Vilnius. Clear golden, airy hed. Aroma of ripe fruit and honey with slight boiled vegetables behind. Sweet and medium bodied, a bit sticky. Finishes with low bitterness. On the sweet side for me.
