| 1.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 1/10 | 2/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 5/20 | Mar 27, 2007 Bottle: Clear golden color with a large white head. Subtle lacing. The nose was (imo) awful. A cross between really musty malt and wet dog. Be thankful it tastes better than it smells. Not much better, but the taste is grainy and of a sweet, musty malt. Not good. Headbanger (1598), Aurora, Illinois, USA
| 2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 2/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 8/20 | Mar 22, 2007 16.9oz bottle-A golden body with no head and an aroma of a typical american pale lager. Taste of corn, grains, and some sweetness. Another typical pale lager. frankenkitty (1903), Oak Lawn, Illinois, USA
| 1.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 2/10 | 2/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 5/20 | Mar 1, 2007 Pale golden, mostly dead... a small white head fades to a thin film. Buttery diacetyl aroma over grassy hops, sweet florals, latex paint and Band-Aid adhesive. Alcohol shows late and is a welcome cover to the aforementioned mess. Sweet flavor, finishing on a bitter note.... a flavor that improves as it warms, which is odd for a Pale Lager. A little thick. I should just "say no" to these Lithuanian lagers, but...

No notch on label for freshness date. a clear gold with no head and light body. Gave a grainy, slightly astringent flavor with a mellow pale malt paired with a slight hoppy flavor and bitterness. Very non-distinctive. heemer77 (4311), Savannah, Missouri, USA
| 2.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 9/20 | Sep 6, 2006 I got a 500 ml bottle of this at Lukas Liquors in Kansas City. A dark gold body with a frothy white head. The aroma is sweet with perfume and apples. There is also some funky leather and stale herbs. The taste is fairly herbal with some oregeno and some potatoes. This has a little bit of a sweet finish. A unique and interesting lager. Not bad. Fightfire4beer (125), Virginia, USA
| 1.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 2/10 | 3/5 | 3/10 | 2/5 | 6/20 | Aug 30, 2006 Bottle. Medium white head and light yellow-gold color. Slightly skunky aroma giving way to some smell which I can only compare to old cigarette smoke. Flat sprite flavor that ends in a quick bitter bite. C PorterPounder (3147), Tallahassee, Florida, USA

Light golden, pale pour with a soapy white head that leaves a goiod bit of lacing. Grainy aroma with some grassy and skunky Euro notes. Typical Eastern Euro lager flavor, hints of honey sweetness, a bit of corn, some back end steeliness in the finish. Thinnish Mouthfeel. Drinkable. Cornfield (4966), Oak Forest, Illinois, USA
| 2.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 9/20 | Jun 22, 2006 A drinkable but passable lager. Yellow with a creamy head that quickly fades to scum, the aroma has an initial flash of skunk that drifts away to be replaced by grainy malts, somWehat buttery, with a grassy, herbal hopping. Sweet and a bit buttery, it finishes on a moderatgely bitter, grassy hop note.
Not one of Rinkuškiai’s best. I recommend the Žaibo.
