Slightly hazy golden colour, white head. Aroma of honey, dough, rising bread, quite sweet. Sweet flavour, honey and malts. Sweet finish, light bitter, touch of nuts.

1L PET Bottle sample @ ZBF’13 shared with the RB Belgian crew courtesy of Joris and British friends. Ambrée, col blanc léger. Arôme est mielleux, nettement plus que la Alus avec ici une inspiration poussant vraiment une ale traditionnelle vers les limites de l’hydromel. Le malté reste toujours présent, avec un grains en retrait. Palais est mielleux, doux et organique rendant une belle rondeur en fin de bouche sans pour cela tomber dans le trop sucré. Le houblon se veut discret et ici aussi contribue à un ajout léger de fleuri qui est déjà bien rendu par le miel.

Bottle sample @ ZBF’13 shared with the RB Belgian crew courtesy of Joris and British friends. Ambre sur un léger trouble, col beige moyen. Arôme est en effet mielleux. Note de grains et moût, malté reste subtile couvert par ce bouquet organique. Palais est aussi doux et mielleux voire organique sans vraiment ce côté faux-sucré. Malt est moyen avec un houblons se faisant très discret. Sympa malgré l’esthétique de la bouteille ne jouant pas en sa faveur. A parier et sans l’effervescence, cette bière peut quais passer pour un hydromel léger.

No head, fully hazed, ochre beer. Honey, malts, utterly sweet-smelling. Utterly sweet tasting, dull-grainy. Utterly syrupy MF. Even mead is not this dull-cloyingly sweet. See my Alus rating for more comment. Txs to marcusftbd

Tasted as Jovaru Šnekutis Kainiškas alus Small rim, mossy-orange colour. Grain, grain, grain and some malt. Caramelaroma. Sweet malts, maltsyrup, honeyish. Syrupy, slick², viscous. Pretty awful, and I wonder whether it’s fermented at all? Tim, Martin, etc. I’m sure this tastes great on tap in Lietuva, but in the west, from the PET, it s*cks right royally. Thanks to marcusftbd

Thx to JorisPPattyn for this one – sort of assume that he knew the couple which deposited this one & another bottle from this brewery at our table. Otherwise thanks to them for bestowing upon us randomly Lithuanian awesomeness. 1000 cl. brown PET bottle which looks more like 750 cl. Lithuanian craft in PET bottles, awesome. Psychopathically happy bearded, very, very old school Lithuanian on the bottle. Murky orange amber appearance with almost no head. Smell is sweet caramel, sweet syrup, sweet honey, syrupy,… Taste is sweet caramel, caramel extract, honey, sweet herbs, brown sugar, creamy,… Flat, light honey,… Not too bad but nowhere near as awesome as their Su Naturaliu Medumi.

Thx to JorisPPattyn for this one – sort of assume that he knew the couple which deposited this one & another bottle from this brewery at our table. Otherwise thanks to them for bestowing upon us randomly Lithuanian awesomeness. Honey was added apparently after fermentation. 1000 cl. brown PET bottle which looks more like 750 cl. Lithuanian craft in PET bottles, awesome. Pours a lightly murky brownish amber with little white head. Nose is full of delicious raw bread dough, yummy with a thick layer of brown honey on top. Taste is sweet honey, creamy, delicious raw bread dough, brown honey, lightly herbal, thick caramel, hints of nuts, flowers and light earth. Body with touches of honey, little carbonation. I cannot believe that this one has a lower rating than their Alus. This feels very warm and comforting. I love this – deviates very heavily from all other beer styles.
