As one of two Ratebeerians who has visited the illustrious Rinkuskiai brewery, I am honoured that Rustyham provided me with this opportunity to become this brewery’s #1 rater. In your face, Per!

Clear, straw colour. Grainy and haylike taste. Light herbal hop but husky malt. Thin. Bland, sweetish finish.

Bottle from the Binny’s in Plainfield, IL. It poured a rich golden body with a fizzy head that vanished pretty quickly. Not a lot of promise in the aroma - corny and almost chemical like. The flavor was sweet and grainy with a dollop of honey and an odd bitterness to balance it out. Actually fairly drinkable, but probably not repeatable.

Lightly hazed dark straw color. Diminished white head. Husky malt and grain scents along with a touch of oil soap. Sweet light grain flavors along with some honey and corn. Typical euro light lager.

Bottle from Belmont Party. Poured clear amber color with small frothy off-white head that was mostly lasted with fair lacing. Average sweet grainy aroma. Light to medium body with thin texture and soft carbonation. Light to medium sweet flavor with light to medium sweet finish of short to moderate duration. This average sweet beer did not meet my expectations.

Bottle. Head is initially small, frothy, white, mostly diminishing. Body is clear medium yellow. Aroma is lightly to moderately malty (grain, husks), lightly hoppy (flowers), with a light note of soap. Flavor is moderately sweet, lightly acidic, lightly bitter. Finish is lightly sweet, lightly acidic, lightly to moderately bitter, slightly husky, slightly unclean. Medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation. Kind of soapy and grainy. Typical for the region.

Dark gold body witha bright white head. The aroma was bread dough with some apples. There was also some hay. The taste was metallic with some fresh wheat kernels. There was also some light potato skin. A decent and drinkable lager.

This bottled brew from a bottle shop poured a medium sized head of foamy finely sized white colored bubbles that were mostly lasting and left behind a transparent typically carbonated yellow colored body and a thick foamy lacing. The weak aroma was mild malt and mild hop. The mouth feel was tingly at the start and at the finish. The flavor contained notes of malt hops and lambic like. An OK brew just nothing special.
