Draught Ekstra Svyturys is a unique offering from Svyturys Brewery, Lithuania's oldest brewery with a heritage spanning back to 1784. What sets this particular Ekstra apart is its "Draught" designation, indicating that it undergoes microfiltration rather than pasteurisation before bottling. This meticulous process helps the beer retain qualities of a "live" beer, similar to what you'd experience directly from the tap at a bar. It's a testament to Svyturys' commitment to delivering unparalleled freshness.
This golden lager presents a beautiful, clear hue and a thick, creamy white foam that lingers. On the nose, it offers clean aromas of pale malt and delicate hops, with a subtle floral hint. The palate is exceptionally clean and well-balanced, delivering a pleasant bitterness that harmonises beautifully with its light malt sweetness. It boasts a rich, smooth, and long-lasting taste, culminating in a crisp, refreshing, and satisfyingly smooth finish. The 5.2% ABV provides a robust yet approachable character, making it a truly satisfying and remarkably fresh lager.
The convenient 500ml bottle is ideal for individual enjoyment, sharing with friends, or as a welcome addition to any casual gathering, offering the "fresh from the tap" experience in a portable format. Draught Ekstra Svyturys is incredibly versatile with food, pairing beautifully with grilled fish, poultry, cold appetisers, jerky, and smoked meat products, or simply enjoyed on its own after a long day. Serve well chilled to experience its full refreshing potential.
