Syvturys Ekstra is a Dortmunder/European export lager. This was the first Lithuanian beer to earn the international recognition and be awarded gold and silver at the World Beer Cup and gold at the Stockholm beer festival.
Ekstra is a beer with a liquid golden colour that is topped by a thick snowy-white foam. It is made from barley malt, rice, bitter and spicy hops, brewer’s yeast and fresh water. The beer has been widely acclaimed thanks to the intensity and lightness of its well-balanced taste, with just a slight tinge of the bitterness of hops. From day one, Svyturys Ekstra became and still is the most popular beer on tap in restaurants and bars across Lithuania as it is delivered to the bars as non-pasteurised, live beer

Very drinkable, with complex bitter-sweet flavours.
