The first Lithuanian beer, brewed since 1995, which has received international recognition along with a number of top awards. Bright gold in colour and with a thick foam on the glass Ekstra has gained its wide popularity for its balanced flavour which is enlivened with slight bitterness of hops. Once introduced, Švyturio Ekstra has become the most popular draft beer in Lithuanian restaurants and pubs as it is delivered to bars unpasteurized or live.

Bottle on board Fridtjofen 02.04.16. Clear pale straw colour. White head and lacing. Aroma and taste of grass, maize, cane sugar, boiled vegetables and pale malt. Quite sweet. A less than mediocre Eurolager.

Nez de malt douce (grains pâle, notes de biscuits et avec de fines notes de miel et de maïs sucré), très léger de houblon floral aux notes herbeuses. Mince en bouche avec un pétillement moyen-fort. Goût de malt pâle moyennement croustillant avec un goût légèrement métallique (qui dure toute la gorgée) avec de très légères notes de lime lors de l’entrée en bouche auquel se rajoute un goût légèrement sucré de malt doux (léger de pain avec de très légères notes de miel) et léger de maïs sucré puis finalement un léger goût amer de houblon floral aux touches herbeuses et des notes d’alcool métallique. Arrière-goût plutôt court, légèrement amer de houblon floral avec de petites notes métalliques. (notes 2005-2006)

Bottle from Continental Food Store, Wakefield. Slightly hazy golden ale with a small carbonation and next to no head. Malty lager with some grain evident in its aroma and taste.

Golden color, white head with medium duration. Aroma has notes of light malts with cardboard notes. Flavor is quite similar as aroma. Another common industrial beer brewed in Lithuania

500ml can. Thought it was Ekstra Draught (wanted to re-rate) but turns out it's another tick for Lithuania. Pours gold with a brief white head. Hoppy and malty aroma. Taste is bread, malt, spicy hops. Decent lager.
