Very small amount of lacing. It smells of light fruit scents. Mostly apple, pear, and strawberry. Some malt scents, as well as a noticeable alcohol presence. Light and spicy citrus flavor right up front, disperses into a very sweet caramel with a small amount of citrus. Hops and caramel linger lightly in the aftertaste. A tiny hint of lemon slips in when everything else is gone. Light and spicy from the carbonation, but with enough body to not be watery. Plenty of potent flavor. You can't taste the abv at all. Very smooth and a somewhat bitter finish. Naturally fermented. The best-known beer in Lithuania!
Lobster Lovers Beer Euro style This interesting selection pours a very clear, brilliant gold with tons of tight rising carbonation. The soapy, egg shell white head holds well and leaves some decent, spotty lace. Certainly characteristic of a quality lager. Aroma is actually very nice. Lots of sweet malt, apple, corn, some faint hops, coriander and a splash of citrus and honey mixed in for good measure. Initial flavor is sweet, balanced citrus and apple. Lots of sweet honey and toasty malt. Citrus, apple, and a bit of sour cherry is detectable. Lots of character and a hint of booze induced warmth. Smooth, mellow and very well balanced. The caramel/honey sweetness really lingers too. The booze is well hidden and palatable. Clean but with a nice lingering buttery texture. Slick and a bit creamy taste in the finish. A definite buttery character in the flavor and the texture makes this brew go well with lobster. Extremely well crafted. Naturally fermented.
Pale Ale Golden crystal clear color with a thin white head. Aroma is lightly spicy, lightly sweet, but fairly benign. Flavor is a fairly well balanced pilsner - yes, it would probably go great with lobster as it is not a very flavorful beer and would not overpower the subtle sweet flavor of the lobster. Appearance is clear dark yellow, wispy white head, aroma: sweet cereal malt aroma with light floral hops and flavor: sweet malt flavor with a lot of grain character, candy sweetness, light balancing bitterness.Naturally fermented.
White Porter This is light color beer, against all porters beeing dark and malty. Is mild in taste with just a touch of bitterness, that even people who don't like beer like this one.
Werewolf Beers Lithuania’s world-famous beer-making traditions take their roots in antiquity. Lithuanians know their beer and truly appreciate this remarkable potation. Today many old families possess unique beer recipes passed down to them from generation to generation. These are genuine relics of the past and part of the rich Lithuanian heritage.
One ancient Lithuanian legend tells the story of a young man who was in love with a girl of exceptional beauty. Alas, he knew not how to win her heart. But he did have old family recipes for brewing some extraordinary beers, for they came from his great-great-great-grandmother, allegedly a witch. And the young man decided to treat the object of his affection to one of these concoctions and brewed it himself, employing the lover-enchanting recipe. One night the fair maiden tasted the freshly-made beer and, to our lad’s great horror, transformed into a wolf right on the spot. Apparently the young man somehow mixed up the witch’s recipes…
What happened next is another story for another time. For now, think hard whether you really want to try this beer, made according to an ancient recipe.

Darker Lager Pours with a tall lingering froth. Beautiful caramel, copper color. Wispy beige head. Complex smell. Aromas of sweet malts, spicy hops, wet hay, plum, brown sugar. Taste is complex too. Flavor of rich sweet malts, caramel. Lots of toffee. Full nectar with good carbonation. Hides the alcohol very well. A mild malty sweetness ensues as the werewolf attacks with its high abv. Nice chewy texture. Overall it has an earthy presence and finishes dry bittered nicely.

Aiko Stiprus Pours a nice clear amber color with a hint of orange and little white head. Smell of malt and barley. On the tongue and in the mouth, the beer is crisp and refreshing. There is a bit of fruitiness in the flavor. A mild herbal bitterness helps balance some of the sweetness, but still quite sweet and sticky. Alcohol is very well concealed. A good amount of malts and barley give the beer a sweet taste that does an excellent job of masking the 9.5 abv. Naturally fermented.

Based on special barley malt and aroma hops.
Special brew for Christmas Missing Elf Dopplebock. Brilliantly crystal clear. It's a golden honey color with little bubbles floating up. A light creamy head forms at first, then fades to small clumps of bubbles around. Starts with a light crisp lager like nose, with hints of honey and sweet malts. Digger deeper reveals the slightest hints of European malts, touches of alcohol sweetness, almost Belgian candy sugar, and quite a bit like a Belgian triple. Starts pretty sweet, as one would expect. More European/Belgian like malt. Some bitterness starts to come through a bit and it starts to dry off very fast long before the sip is even finished. Some honey flavors come out, and fermented honey dryness. Some interesting earthy flavors come out as well that I can't really say where they are from, perhaps the yeast, and adds almost the faintest hint of metal. It hides the alcohol pretty well with the initial sweetness, and you only get the slightest alcohol warmth. Very dry but still slightly sticky. It leaves your mouth fresh feeling like mouthwash even though there was no initial alcohol burn your mouth feels it after, with a touch of stickiness It also has that earthy bitterness lingering a bit as well. The honey flavor seems to linger as well for a while and presents that dry feel and even dry flavor. It's also pretty dangerous as halfway through the beer you can already feel it getting on top of you being 9.5% and doesn't feel like it at all. Naturally fermented.

BROUWERIJ VAN EECKE Poperings Hommel Ale Specialty Ale: This beer is a one of a kind ale, that you can best classify with the other Strong Golden Ales from Belgium. What makes it special is of course the yeast, and what makes it unique is the higher amounts of hops used. This beer has about twice the bitterness of other Belgian beers. We can not expect less, since this beer has been brewed for centuries in the heart of the Belgian hops region: Poperinge. Indeed, the small village of Watou is today part of the city of Poperinge. "Hommel" is the local word to identify hops, and it may come from the Latin word "humulus", used to identify hops. Some people in Poperinge believe it is the other way around: the local word was the source for the monks-scientist, many centuries ago, to create the word "humulus". Poperings Hommel ale is brewed with a blend of summer, winter and aromatic pale malts. The brewery has its own well where soft water is found, and only local grown hops from the Gold and Hallertau family are used.

Nederlands: Oranjeboom
Oranjeboom is a Dutch lager brand owned by United Dutch Breweries BV. The main beer produced under the brand name is Oranjeboom Premium Pilsner .Summer thirst quencher. Worth having a few in the refrigerator when you need to hit that spot.
A nice white foamy head forms beneath a clear light golden body. The carbonation is very impressive, constant rising bubbles. As you stick your nose over the glass you’ll quickly notice the malt, however the hops are very strong and there is a hint of spice. The flavor is certainly sweet initially, however this does quickly turn to a sharp, hoppy dryness. The finish is distinctively dry, but very satisfyingly so. The sweet malt at the start followed by the crisp dry finish make this a very enjoyable brew.
Oranjeboom proves that there’s never a reason to buy Bud again.
