2.5 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Pour from a 11.2 oz bottle. Medium yellow brew with a nice white head. Slightly cloudy. Not much to the aroma - a bit of hops and mineral water. Sweet beer - sweet at the start and sweet in the finish. Slight hoppiness is lost to the sweetness. Finish is lingering malt with a hint of vegetal sourness at the very end that is somewhat offputting. not bad - a rather average brew that I won’t be seeking out in the future.

one of those rice beers that are so thin body-wise and hold a urin-like note to it. the taste stays in your mouth for a while, but it’s not pleasant and I wouldn’t recommend it

Bottle (donated by Q.-D.!): Clear, greenish-golden with a bigger - stable - fluffy white head; mild to moderate grainy-bitter nose, light to moderate sweetish-bitter flavour, as well, light bodied; slightly lingering malty and bitter finish. Surprisingly good.....

2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Bottled from my fridge. Light golden coloured lager with little head. A slightly tart finish and an element of hops. Nice beer but tasted better in the sun when on holiday in Vilnius!
2.6 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Nice orange with a frothy off-white head. Initial aroma of grass and yeast (lots and lots of yeast). Taste is slightly acidic and slightly bitter. Not bad, but nothing special in any way.
