Volfas Engelman Rinktinis (pack of 4) (5.2%)

Volfas Engelman Rinktinis is an unpasteurized Lithuanian lager from Kaunas, brewed with Lithuanian Pilsen-type malt, Perle and Magnum hops, proprietary beer yeast and specially prepared fresh water. It is bottom-fermented, filtered but left unpasteurized, and sold in a four-pack of pint-sized bottles at 5.2% ABV. The unpasteurized approach preserves delicate flavour compounds that heat treatment would strip away. It is designed as a straightforward drinking lager and is best served cold in a pilsner glass. The nose shows apple-like fruitiness, sweet malt, cut grass and gentle herbal notes. The palate is clean and malt-forward with soft caramel sweetness, green apple and light grain before mild hop bitterness. The finish is medium-short, refreshing and crisp.
