Rinkuškiai Aiko Pale

Brewed by Rinkuškiai
Style: Pale Lager
Biržu raj., Lithuania

500ml bottle. $1.79 at Discount Liquors, Milwaukee. Pours a thin and pale golden yellow. Minimal patchy head, big soapy bubbles. The aroma is ruthlessly sweet, especially for a beer of such low ABV. Wow, what a shitty beer. Diacetyl bomb. Odd vanilla butterscotch flavors. Really just plain bad. Tastes like some horrible factory made nonsense, with some malt and hop extract tossed into the sugar water to make it beer-like. Really exceptionally bad, with no redeeming qualities at all.

Clear dull golden color with ring of clearish white head. Not quite as sweet or fruity as the high alc versions, but just like the other low alc euro lagers I’ve had. Astringent, and a little grassy with a slight hop bitterness that is barely noticable on the finish. I usually like these more than than the average drinker, but this one didn’t do anything for me.

Bottle on sale for a buck @ Oliver T’s...Sparkling golden color with a small ring of white foam. Slight aroma of corn and artificial sweetness. Taste is lightly sweet, with some harsh bitter notes. Very watery palate, and a bit too much carbonation. Dry finish, within a split second of sipping there is no taste whatsoever. Really boring beer overall.

Light yellow, creamy but quick white finger of foam, an absent aroma, some grain sweetness. Taste is grainy, slight corn malt, same as all of their other low grav pale lagers.

A nice crisp yellow collor with faint head. Sweet sugar and corn on the aroma. Moderate carbonation in the body and a generic corn flavor with a watery finish.

7/8 taste of a 6/8 bottle. Looks: Yellow, thin white top. Aroma: Candy sugar and grain. Taste: Thin, weak and sugared. A little hop bite. Metallic. Will not purchase again.

This beer is not good. It smells slighly sweet, like cane sugar and corn, but it tastes overly lagery with that lager finish that lingers like bad hops. Pours with very little head: should have been a dead giveaway. I am disappointed. No wonder it was on clearance- the beer guy recommended it at McScrooge’s, and lost all of his credibility with me.

Bottle. I can’t believe it. This tates just like Baro Pale (Šviesusis) and Uosto Pale I think they are putting the same beer in the same bottle and putting different labels on it.
