Interesting, powerfully "living" yeasty beer, it’s a good combination of a Ternopil-style zhyve pivo with a Helles, with a bit of Hefeweizen wheat. Way better than estonian mass-market for sure, and a welcome gift from LT houseguests

50cl bottle. Looks like hefeweizen (due to being unfiltered), tastes like a good helles. Aroma of honey and strong yeast taste (again, due to sediment). Carbonation close to zero. Sticky texture, medium body. A bit too much yeast for me. All in all - good brew. Number 20 from top Lithuanian beers.

Really do not know what to say, There is nothing good to say about cannabis beer ever. It was somwheat bitter but that’s it nothing special.

In short: A thirst blonde lager with a light countryside twist. Nice
How: Tap at Gyvas Pub, Kaunas, Lithuania
The look: Mostly clear blond body topped by a small white head
In long: Nose is wet hay, a bit of wet cat, cereals, a bit of grass. Taste has plenty of chewy hay, a tiny bit of honey, light tropical fruits and banana notes, light presence of herbaceous hops. A nice thirst lager with discreet notes of the Lithuanian farmhouse/terroir. I can’t believe the many bad ratings that this fine beer has on this website, but if there’s one important lesson I’ve learnt ever since I was a little kid and read Three Little Pigs it is that 2 individuals out of 3 are idiots.

5 Slightly dirty aroma, again creamy to cottage cheese.
3 Slightly hazy gold, small white head, some lacing.
6- Simple dull taste, some bitter and slightly brackeny hops.
4 Simple palate, crisp carbonation. Massive perfumed soap finish that builds up slowly. Dry and well attenuated.
11+ Very solid light lager. Easy to drink but flavoursome. Strongest point is its finish - that’s a win.
