Botella. Clear golden colour, short lasting white head. Bit malty aroma, some hops. Mild flavour of malt, grains and hops. Mild brew.

Bought at Rimi Supermarket, Just a common Pilsen nothing else. Pale yellow color, start with a nice white head but goes fast. Aroma is weak with some notes of malt. Flavor is refreshing only. MOuthfeel is tooooo short.

Easy drinkable. Light hoppy herbal bitterness. Light corny taste beside graininess and bread-taste. Clear pale golden color. Weak bitter finish. Fruit is mostly detectable in smell - apple parfumed but it is found in faint taste traces. Medium-low carbonation.

500ml bottle (Maxima, Vilnius)
Mid gold, small white head. Papery and grainy lager aroma - very Baltic macro. Pleasant level of carbonation, refreshing smooth palate. Fairly bland lagery taste, a light breadiness, and some hint at hops. A touch flowery. Quenches a thirst, and very easy to drink.

Medium yellow pour with small head. Grainy, hoppy start tails off to an alcoholic finish. Standard.

Bottle, 4.6%. Standard macro aroma, weak graininess. Clear golden colour, small white head. Thin flavour, weak bread and grain. Quite clean.

28-Apr-08 (500-ml bottle, Best by 19-Aug-08: Free sample bottle for stewarding the 2008 World Beer Cup in San Diego, CA) Being a World Beer Cup entry, this should be a reasonably fresh bottle that hasn’t been grossly abused. A moderately spicy hop character provides a balanced entry, but the hop flavors subside a bit in the evolution, allowing the grainy, bready and somewhat corny malt to dominate the finish. However, after a few more sips, the flavor and bitterness of the hops are able to persist on the palate, masking the poor quality of the malt base, so this ends up being a bit more enjoyable. The sweet, corny, grainy malts are easily the most prominent aromas, and the lightly hoppy aromas are pleasant, but there’s a bit of cheesiness and cat pee in the background too. Body is light, but gentle hop bitterness and moderate carbonation make for a lively palate. The beer pours a perfectly clear, medium-golden color with a quarter-inch white head that dissipates rapidly. With the funky aroma and cheap-tasting malt backing, this by no means is a good pilsener, but it is a reasonably refreshing lager with some actual hop character.

Bottle - 500ml. Pale gold body with thick but fading white pillowy head. Fair malty/hoppy aroma with bready and herbalhints. Its one-dimension taste ends with a short bitter finish.

0,5L can. Light yellow. Sweet malt or fruit aroma. Flavor - nothing to say. Drinkable, but very usual.

0.5 l. bottle. Light brittle white head. Light golden colour. Sweety malty aroma. Flavour, maybe from apple, but very sweet so hard to say..
