Half-liter import bottle. Time again to pick on a cheap foreign lager. Today’s beer comes to us all the way from Lithuania, but there’s a reasonable chance I picked it up relatively fresh. In a tall lager glass, it pours a big stiff white head over a slightly hazy pale body. Decent "beer" smell, though with a little oxidation. Taste has some light, toasty pils malts to it, but also a bit of "processing" that comes from adjunct. No noticeable hops involved, save for the slight "hay" other raters have suggested. At least it’s not overloaded with sugar, unlike the Solodov I just had. Malts match to pretty clean water. Okay on a hot day like today. Purchased at Sam’s Wines, Downers Grove.

Bottle. Very pale yellow aroma a little sweet, smelt a little chemically to me, could probably be regrded as refreshing but otherwise fairly non-descript without being awful.

Pale lager color, small white head. Metallic aroma similar to Finnish Koff III/IV. Bitter lightly alcoholic flavor in the start, turning sweetish side. Carbonated mouthfeel and some distant feeling of hops in the finish.
