decent frothy head that sinks faster than the Titanic. A nice steady stream of bubbles swirls from the bottom. An average to mildly strong grassy scent isn't really appealing, but it's not bad. Not crazy about the taste. Very grassy and metallic, with a dry bitter bite at the end. Not really what I look forward to experiencing. Mouthfeel is strange. It goes in, feels funky (like alka-seltzer) in your mouth, then goes down smooth, but dry. I'm not gonna have another one of these. Not worth my time.

Muddy brown/tan; husky aroma, slight rusting tin, stewed tomato, earthy hop; palate shows toffee, slight oxidized hop, sticky Munich malts. Finishes sweet, with a slight sugar note and some house funk. Brewed in the classic Soviet Zhigulevskoye style.
Earlier Rating: 12/26/2002 Total Score: 2.8
Clear gold; fresh hop aroma, with slight cat's piss (oh joy!). Herbal, almost pungent (though restrained) hops and bready malt blend well. Slightly bitter finish, light overall.

Pours pale yellow and really cloudy. Looking deep into my glass there are some huge yeast floaters. Creamy head. Orangey aroma. Sweet and medium bodied, soft mouthfeel, some vanilla, but not a lot of esters.

That's right boys - when in Lithuania, have some \"alus\". This is the standard brew. Feels right when you get it in the dark brown cafés of the old town of Vilnius or Kaunas - hardly elsewhere.
