Bottle > Byblos > Fort Worth. Really pretty darn good. But then again maybe it was the atmosphere. Certainly seemed better than a 14 rating. Light and crisp and a pretty decent amount of flavor which I sometimes can’t find in these types of beers.

50 cL bottle. Pours clear golden yellow with a thick and chalk white head. Aroma is flat malty and dry grassy. Sweet initial malt flavoured, light roasted and with a vague bitterness coming through. Ends dry and lingering malty flavoured.

Bottle thanks to cavie. Yellow pour. Nose was corn extract, must and dust. Flavor was corn with a hint of sewer water.

Bottle from Cavie. Metallic and complex, I’m not happy about it, but here’s to Lithuania.

bottle thanks to cavie. pale yellow with a white head. nose is light fruity malts and corn. thin on the palate with a heavily fruity malt flavor.

( 500ml bottle thanks to Cavie) Pours very pale yellow with no head and ok lacing. Nose of light honey. Taste is sweet, no bitterness at all and lingers with some sweet malts.

As average of a beer as possible. Lack luster aroma and an appearance of a watered down yellow color and little particles that were suspended in the beer matrix and eventually settled at the bottom. Flavor of slight hops, banana, and light beer. Uneventful palate sensation. Once again, this is an average beer.

( 500ml bottle, courtesy of Cavie ) Pours a lightly hazy pale yellow body with a small white head. Aroma of candy corn, cream corn, and metal. Flavor of candy corn, cardboard, and cereal.
