Tap (Taura Brewery Tap, which may be where this was brewed)
One of the best giras I’ve had. So full of rye-bread, raisins, and a bit of butter. Gentle spicing too gives it a lovely cakey tang. Utterly delicious, and so refreshing. OK, fairly sweet, but that’s what you expect from a gira.

Small head immediately disappears. Deep dark brown barely translucent body. Oily honey and rye aroma with treacle and earth notes. Dry-sweet plasticky earthy syrup taste with rye notes. Mid-to-full body. Soft, mild mouthfeel, somewhat flat. Dryish caramelly rye syrup aftertaste with herbal honey notes. Very nice. Lovely session beer. (Big bottle at Bamb Alyne, Vilnius.)
