Discover the distinguished character and inviting warmth of Svyturys Amber Beer, a truly exceptional Lithuanian lager, now presented in a traditional 500ml glass bottle. Bottled at a balanced 4.6% alcohol by volume, this authentic European brew is crafted for the discerning individual in New Zealand who appreciates a full-flavoured yet smooth and highly drinkable amber beer.
Svyturys (meaning "Lighthouse") is Lithuania's oldest brewery, with a proud history dating back to 1784 in Klaipėda. Known for its rich brewing traditions and commitment to quality, Svyturys has gained international recognition, including numerous awards for its diverse range of beers. Svyturys Amber is a classic representation of an amber lager, brewed with a selection of roasted malts that impart its distinctive reddish-amber hue and complex flavour profile, while maintaining the crispness inherent to a lager.
On the nose, Svyturys Amber offers inviting aromas of toasted bread, caramel, and a subtle hint of fruitiness, characteristic of its malt blend. The palate is wonderfully smooth and mellow, delivering a harmonious balance of malty sweetness and a gentle bitterness from the hops. Expect flavours of rich caramel, a touch of dried fruit, and a pleasant roasted note, culminating in a clean, refreshing finish that leaves a pleasing, lingering malty impression without any cloying sweetness. It's a beer that provides warmth and depth, yet remains exceptionally approachable and drinkable.
The 500ml bottle provides a generous single serving, ideal for savouring its rich character during New Zealand's cooler winter evenings. Whether enjoyed on its own as a comforting brew, paired with hearty winter fare, or as a sophisticated accompaniment to a rich dessert, Svyturys Amber offers a distinctive and welcoming addition to any beer selection.
