Feb 20, 2009 500 ml bottle from LCBO. Pours golden in colour, with good white head, which dissipates quickly. Faint hoppy aroma, and not sure what that flavour is. Somewhat hoippy finish.

Jan 30, 2009 Draught (Būsi Trecias, Vilnius) - Pale golden with lively carbonation and a small white head. Grassy and grainy aroma with malt being detected. Grainy and malty taste with a twist of lemon. Tastes a bit green to me.

Jan 29, 2009 Fruity, mostly citrusy. Aromatic herbal hops. Quite sweet but not in negative sense. Has some degree of peppery spiciness. Burbon taste alcohol pops out more than I expected but it has its charm. Clear golden color with lively carbonation.

Jan 2, 2009 Thanks to Vaidas for providing this bottle, adding Lithuania to my map. Švyturys Ekstra is a sparkling, slightly hazy, light golden lager with a thin, dense, waxy white head that fades pretty quickly, but leaves a little lacing on the glass. The aroma is bit muted, but slightly sweetened with round, light malt. There are notes of lemon, hay, soft grass and medicine. It is light bodied and a bit chalky and alkaline in the mouth. It’s actually not too watery. This beer tastes a lot boozier than it is. There is a strong fusel taste, followed by corn, solvent and black pepper. The hops almost come through at the finish with their soft grassiness, but the toll of the alcohol(s) drowns everything out. This kind of tastes like a 40. I could see drinking this in a dimly lit place, while chain smoking.

Dec 28, 2008 Bottled. It was gold w/ a substantial head. Smell is a bit fruity as is taste. Minor hops finish. Not the worst pale lager ever.

Pale lager. Smells of completely nothing. Fruity taste, papery hops, drying finish. Not at all sophisticated, but plenty of tastes to get hold of - tons of fruitiness. Anna detected some nastiness more than once, but I only had it briefly once. (3-2-5-2-9=2.1)
Rerate: (4-2-4-2-7=1.9). Smooth malty taste, OK finish, not bad for a macro.

Dec 23, 2008 Light golden colour with a white head. Little aroma and taste is forgettable.
