Poured from bottle, has a decent golden color but has no head when poured straight, aroma is very sweet almost candy like, taste is overwhelmingly sweet with an alcohol burn to it, glad I had a beer from Lithuania but I wish it was something different.

sweet doughy, caramel. potent. booze. too sweet. low drinability. okay at first. nice brown sugar, doughy grains thing going on. but that gets old, and this gets tough to put down.

This beer is rough. Smells very sweet with some red spice. golden in color. Head fades quickly and leaves a parital, like my grandma. Full and viscous, very sweet with nuances of stewed broccoli stalks and oleander pips. Tastes horrible. Dumper!

UPDATED: JUN 25, 2011 Another rude BS beer from Rinkuškiai trying to B S the BS’ er, hehehh. Check out the name of this beer and checkk out the label. Its made to be turned upside down as to infer my woman deciding ability is changed by the amount of 12% beer I drink, heheh. How terribly rude. Smell is candy charged alky. A pale lager eye with a tad of brown added. Viscous and thick as it enters my glass. On the palate it is c loying and almost gag reflexing. Sweet smell and taste of volatile alky permeates the session, wew. Nasty, get drunk beer if there ever was one. This beer is probably the reason why states make a law against beer ABV on labels, get me drunk quick shit., Appears thick and nasty by the way the bubbles of CO2 take a long time to rise. Crappy rude high alky finish that wants to yeild a buzz and it does. During the finsh I’m destroyed by a high alky note that gets me quite dizzy near theh end of this 15 oz brew.

Poured with a small, short lived, off white head and no lace. Color is a clear amber. As soon as I opened the bottle I got a whiff of the malt. Aroma also has lots of grain, caramel and circus peanuts. Flavor’s about the same and very sweet. Body is like I’d expect from a beer this sweet, full and thankfully there’s enough carbonation to cut through it. Finish is like flavor and has some length. Probably won’t finish it.

Bottle. Pours hazy orange with very small whitish head. The aroma is densely malty with a hint of lemon and noticeable alcohol. The flavor is thinner than I thought.... caramel, honey, lemon, ginger, and a boozy finish. Boring.

I have high expectations when it comes to anything labeled triple bock. Clear pale gold, fizzy. Light honey cereal, simple. Sweet up front, fresh plastic and aluminum. Soils the triple bock legacy.

Bottle from Malt & Vine. Pours light amber with a decent foamy off-white head. Aroma is rather sweetly grainy. Full bodied with foamy carbonation. Flavor is sweet malt with some light fruit. It’s not sticky, so it’s not unpleasant. There seems to be a little bitter. If finishes just mildly sweet. The heat is fairly well hidden. However, the alcohol level does seem to thin the flavors toward the end of a sip.

Nasty stuff. If the the phrase "12% Lithuanian lager" doesn’t terrify you, then check your pulse. Starts off sickly sweet and finishes with a vodka - like alcohol burn. Undrinkable drain pour.

(500 ml bottle from Lou’s Beverage Barn) Pours light golden-amber, bright and clear. Two fingers of off-white head. Aroma of butter and honey with some hops. Mouthfeel a little sticky, lightly dryish. A few dabs of lacing here and there. Flavor of butter, honey, caramel and alchohol. Sweet and hot, along the lines of Samichlaus but ABV slightly more covered.
