May 8, 2009 Straw. Hazy. Light head. Straw and herbal hop nose. Relatively clean. Fresh, breezy malts. Good balance for a macro pale lager.

Jul 19, 2009 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.

Sep 22, 2008 A light gold body with a large egg shell colored head. The aroma has sweet pancakes and dirty old shoes. The taste is like sucking on plum pits and canned green bean seeds. Nasty notes of dirt and NyQuil in the sweet finish. I guess it would work for those that like a sweet, but not corny light lager.

May 8, 2009 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.

Honey, corn, light grain and slight skunk aroma, as the skunk fades, moves more into cheerios. Light corn and honey flavor with light toasty notes, some honey nut cheerios. Light body with moderately high carbonation.

Mar 4, 2009 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.

Sep 1, 2008 Appearance: Pours a clear, yellow body with a small, white head.
Smell: Pale malts with some floral hints and notes of honey and chicken broth.
Taste: Pale malts with a teensy weensy hint of grain and light, honeyish sweetness. Minimal hop presence, only a bit floral with a weak bitterness. Big sip of spring water. Drying, watery finish.
Mouthfeel: Light-bodied. Medium carbonation. It’s watery, I must say.
Drinkability: Contrary to the belief of the back label, I’m not so sure Gediminas, Grand Duchy of Lithuania would "applaud" this beer. I know I did not. I big step down after sampling the Baltika 5 and 7, and that’s saying alot!
