Draught@Baras Šnekutis, Vlinius "Morkuno Šviesusis" 6% by Jonas Morkunas
Hazy orange color, small white head, lace. Buttery, diacetylic, earthy aroma. Medium-bodied. Bitter front, very hoppy and alcoholic flavor, lots of minerals, some buttery notes. True Northern Lithuanian farmhouse beer.

Medium offwhite lasting head. Hazy opaque amber body. Sugary sour milky flour and fruit aroma. Dry-sweet floral herbal taste, fairly bitter and intense, with fruity notes. Mid-bodied. Dusty mouthfeel. Bitter herbal minty resiny aftertaste with floral grassy notes. Very straightforward and harmonic, and also pretty powerfully hopped. Nice. (0.33l draft at Snekutis Old Town. Labelled "Morkuno Sviesusis" at 6%. Assume it’s the same beer.)

(Draught at Šnekutis, Old Town, Vilnius) Poured pale orange and cloudy. Head was large, white and long lasting. Aroma contained grass and butter. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were sweetness, grass, fruitiness, butter and bitterness. Aftertaste was bitter.

Draught @ Šnekutis in Old Town, Vilnius. Muddy deep golden colour, nice creamy white head. Fruity honey sweet malty aroma. Good mouthfeel. Sweet yeasty malty fruity honey flavour. Pleasant mild bitter sweet finish.

Plastic bottle. Hazy orange coloured. Apples, mineral and caramel in the aroma. Fruity flavour with notes of tea and plastic. Bitterness in the finish.

A hazy orange beer with no head. The aroma is sweet with notes of caramel. The flavor is dominated by minerals and sweet malt. Typical Lithuanian with the minerals, and quite nice.
