Dark amber, rye and medium bitterness, light hop…okay good beer but I wouldn't go nuts on the Lithuanian connection. It’s not exactly taking me back to that sunny day Pakruojis when I hit the breakfast sesh with the farmers at 7am and because everything was 9% I was gooned by 9am when they closed for the morning. Went back to my room and napped until the god of Lithuanian traditional beer, Jovalu, opened at lunch. Nor does it take me back to me and omhper playing ping pong at the original Šnekutis, in Pasvalys, dumbfounded at what we had found…the first outsiders to document the Lithuanian scene. Every single beer, one of us loved it and the other one hated it. So while this is good beer but I am not really feeling the Lithuanian connection. Happy for the memories and all but it's more like from a what is missing perspective than a what it nailed.
