Unexpected Sipping

[AngelTearsOnMyTongue]

I am sitting here by my chiminea, sipping a beer I have neither heard of before tonight, nor had expected to be sipping.
My old man came by an left me a 500ml bottle of Svyturys 1784 Exstra.

I would guess it is most like a Pils. Light Golden in colour, fairly delicately bitter with a nice hoppy tang.

Anybody else had this one before?

I think it won a gold medal in the World Beer Championships & The World Beer Cup 2000.

It is from Lithuania.

I love the excitement of trying a new, unknown (to me) beer. Mmmmmmmm.

Cheers all.

Acually those ratings aren't too bad compared to some of the aussie mega swills.
