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.

New Beer Distributors, NYC ($2.75): Pours golden with a white head. Aroma is bread, grain, and cereal Taste is nice smooth and bready. No off-tastes to be had here. Really, I don’t know why people are talking so much smack on this. This wasn’t a bad beer at all. Maybe some people are getting old, skunked versions.

50 cl. bottle shared with Kraddel. Procured from Anna Maria. Very pale, totally clear golden with basically no head, the type of look that pale lager lovers tend to go for. Smells super-duper metallic, very chemical & cheap booze smell to it. Taste is extremely chemical, bitter macro hop pellets style fare, plastic, cold water corn, sticky, lightly oily. I prefer pale lagers to have as muted flavours as possible because they taste terrible (duh!) & this is super-duper outspoken, way too much, not fun at all.
