Golden colour. Fairly malty aroma with some vegetal notes. Body is a little thin, but there is some bready malt in there, back up by a thin layer of hay-like hops. Finish is moderately sweet and a little bit fruity.

Golden, sparkling. Slightly fruity aroma (blackberry, apple, hop). Palate leans to hoppy with moderate bitterness and grassy notes. Lean body + combined with a hint of asringency in the finish points to a dearth of malt balance.

Bottled. Pale yellow, airy head. Light grassy aroma. Medium sweet, lightly oily, but fairly clean. Medium bitterness. A standard beer without any other intentions than being easy to drink.

Can (BB 08/2004)
Light amber color. Small foamy head, mostly vanishing. Lightly hopped with hints of toffee aroma. Sugary malty palate. Watery finish. This kind of sweetness is maybe typical to those low-quality Lithuanian lagers like this and "Lokys".

Pale yellow, medium foamy head and some lace. Skunky cooked corn aroma. Lame corn-flavored lager (well, it says "light beer" in the label). Not much aftertaste.

Mahogany coloured, beige head. Coffee and alcohol aroma. Medium body. Notes of licorice and coffee. Nice, but but the body doesn't carry all the alcohol.
