Rinkuškiai Gedimino

Got this bottle a couple of weeks ago at Surdyk’s in Minneapolis. Poured with a decent, foamy, white head and no lace. Color is light amber. Aroma was real nice with good bitter hops and malt - solid beer. Flavor was much too sweet. Body and carbonation were ok. Mostly sweet finish with a little bitterness.

Bottle from Sal’s Beverage World in Elmhurst, Illinois: It pours a clear yellow body filled with bubbles but capped by the slenderest of heads. The aroma is sweet grainy malt with light grassiness and a touch of mineral water. Take away the mineral water and you have the flavor. Not bad, nicely balanced, but I think it needs more hops. Of course, I say that when I’m drinking a DIPA.

once again, no point in describing this, imagine what it tasteslike... okay, now dilute that flavor... okay, now put some ice in it and wait 15 minutes... that’s about it.

Rustyham on the hookup. Yellow pour, white head. Malty, grainy and light hops on the nose. Flavor is malty and light. I guess this could be refreshing...but it isn’t good.

Straw. Hazy. Light head. Straw and herbal hop nose. Relatively clean. Fresh, breezy malts. Good balance for a macro pale lager.

clear pale gold with a small white head. aroma is non-existent. metallic, sweet corn and grain mash flavors.

The aroma is like an adjunct lager with lighter fluid, flowers and grass. The appearance is pale gold with a thin head. The flavor is like the aroma. The palate is right for the style. Overall it’s not good.

Big Baltic grainy toasty aroma. Had a bit of skunk that dissipated quickly. Clear golden with small white head. Grainy papery flavor. I got something a bit metallic - very typical flavor and aroma profile for eastern European beers. Lots of graininess - honey nut cheerios. Light body and mouthfeel. Slightly sweet finish with very little hop profile.
