Švyturys Baltas

◎ Appearance

Pale straw yellow with pronounced haze from suspended yeast and wheat proteins, giving the beer a soft, cloudy appearance. A dense, creamy white head forms quickly and clings persistently to the glass, leaving a fine lattice of lacing as you drink. Fine carbonation creates a gentle shimmer throughout the body.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright citrus notes—fresh orange peel and subtle lemon zest—layered beneath a gentle spice character from coriander. Soft wheat and yeast contribute a light, grainy sweetness with a hint of banana and clove typical of Belgian witbier fermentation. The aromatics remain delicate and inviting rather than assertive.

◐ Taste

The palate opens soft and smooth, with wheat malts delivering a light, slightly sweet entry that feels creamy on the tongue. Mid-palate brings forward the promised citrus and coriander interplay, while a subtle spice warmth develops without any harshness. Bitterness remains restrained at 15 IBU, allowing the adjunct spices and citrus to dominate; the finish is clean and dry.

◑ Finish

The beer fades with a crisp, refreshing dryness that leaves wheat and a whisper of orange on the finish. No residual sweetness clings; the aftertaste remains clean and inviting, encouraging another sip.

Serve cold to preserve the delicate citrus and spice aromas. Too warm and the yeast esters become heavy — too cold and the coriander disappears.

The tall, slender wheat beer glass holds the full 50cl pour and shows off the hazy golden colour. The wide mouth lets citrus and spice aromas drift upward freely.
