Let\u2019s just say by this I mean canap\u00e9s, and say no more about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Whilst Kanapinis\u2019 cannabis-hemp connection cannot fail amongst certain circles to attract (not that I am suggesting foul play by advertising), this beer has three things going for it before you even think of whapping it down your neck. For starters, it\u2019s got bottle, and the bottle is made of glass. It also has a resealable Quillfeldt stopper (as featured in my previous post <a href=\"https:\/\/expatkaliningrad.com\/butauty-beer-in-kaliningrad-how-good-is-it\/\" title=\"Butauty\">Butauty<\/a>) and a label that could take first prize at any pagan festival.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"625\" height=\"837\" data-attachment-id=\"9638\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/expatkaliningrad.com\/ru\/kanapinis-cannabis-beer-in-kaliningrad-is-it-good\/kanapinis-bottle-top-min\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/expatkaliningrad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Kanapinis-bottle-top-min.jpg?fit=896%2C1200&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"896,1200\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Kanapinis-bottle-top\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/expatkaliningrad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Kanapinis-bottle-top-min.jpg?fit=224%2C300&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/expatkaliningrad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Kanapinis-bottle-top-min.jpg?fit=625%2C837&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/expatkaliningrad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Kanapinis-bottle-top-min.jpg?resize=625%2C837&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Kanapinis bottle top\" class=\"wp-image-9638\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/expatkaliningrad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Kanapinis-bottle-top-min.jpg?resize=765%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 765w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/expatkaliningrad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Kanapinis-bottle-top-min.jpg?resize=224%2C300&amp;ssl=1 224w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/expatkaliningrad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Kanapinis-bottle-top-min.jpg?resize=768%2C1029&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/expatkaliningrad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Kanapinis-bottle-top-min.jpg?resize=9%2C12&amp;ssl=1 9w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/expatkaliningrad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Kanapinis-bottle-top-min.jpg?resize=624%2C836&amp;ssl=1 624w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/expatkaliningrad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Kanapinis-bottle-top-min.jpg?resize=18%2C24&amp;ssl=1 18w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/expatkaliningrad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Kanapinis-bottle-top-min.jpg?resize=27%2C36&amp;ssl=1 27w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/expatkaliningrad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Kanapinis-bottle-top-min.jpg?resize=36%2C48&amp;ssl=1 36w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/expatkaliningrad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Kanapinis-bottle-top-min.jpg?w=896&amp;ssl=1 896w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 625px) 100vw, 625px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">\u201cPlastic coat and plastic hat, and you think you know where it\u2019s at,\u201d sang Frank Zappa. Poor old plastic, destined to travel through life second class. But let\u2019s be Frank about it, Frank, \u2018better than glass my arse\u2019, no plastic isn\u2019t and never will be. You certainly got that right! Best beer is best drunk from glass glasses and out of bottles made of glass. Tins are also crap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">The Quillfeldt stopper is what it is: one of those simple but oh so very practical inventions that looks as good as it gets and couldn\u2019t really get much better even if it wanted to. Glass beer bottles in a litre size complete with Quillfeldt stoppers make the urge to save the bottles virtually irresistible. It\u2019s a great way (if you are short of ways) of cluttering up your house. Note: These bottles will come in handy even if you never use them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Beer review links:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-blue-color has-text-color has-link-color has-medium-font-size wp-elements-91315b95e16608d7dfc579572d13207e\">[<a href=\"https:\/\/expatkaliningrad.com\/butauty-beer-in-kaliningrad-how-good-is-it\/\" title=\"Butauty\"><strong>Butauty<\/strong><\/a>]<br>[<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/expatkaliningrad.com\/kanapinis-dark-beer-in-kaliningrad-how-good-is-it\/\" title=\"Kanapinis (Dark)\">Kanapinis (Dark)<\/a><\/strong>]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">The olfactory clues as to the nature and taste composition of Kanapinis do not do the beer half as much justice as they ought. Not that from the bottle the aroma of the contents can be said to be in anyway dour or as dull as dishwater (are we talking Baltika 3?) or by any stretch of the connoisseur\u2019s thirsty, impatient imagination unpleasant, indeed quite the contrary, the nostrils positively swoon at the subtle shades of bright and smoky, the happy hoppy, the secret scents and the affably aromatic, but subtle is the word and complex is the next one. We\u2019ll get to that in a minute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">In the glass, the decanted beer assumes a smoky amber appearance and comes with a big creamy head. Once poured and given room to breathe, the initial aroma transfigures itself, becoming progressively less like barley and more like a fragrant perfume, not Brute or High Karate or any of that flared-trousers stuff but an exclusively minted, quality Versace. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">The exact composition as detected by the nose remains elusive, but drinking is not about sniffing. If it was, the health-conscious caveat added to beer-bottle labels by seemingly indulgent, public-spirited brewers would hardly exhort their customers to play the game and \u2018drink sensibly\u2019, as the doing of such a curious thing would have obvious negative impacts on brewery profits. No, the label would instead advise you to sniff the beer with care. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">But let\u2019s be done at once with matters of the nose and get down to the business of carefree drinking!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"625\" height=\"837\" data-attachment-id=\"9639\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/expatkaliningrad.com\/ru\/kanapinis-cannabis-beer-in-kaliningrad-is-it-good\/kanapinis-lable-min\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/expatkaliningrad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Kanapinis-lable-min.jpg?fit=896%2C1200&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"896,1200\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Kanapinis-lable\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/expatkaliningrad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Kanapinis-lable-min.jpg?fit=224%2C300&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/expatkaliningrad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Kanapinis-lable-min.jpg?fit=625%2C837&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/expatkaliningrad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Kanapinis-lable-min.jpg?resize=625%2C837&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Kanapinis (Cannabis) Beer in Kaliningrad\" class=\"wp-image-9639\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/expatkaliningrad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Kanapinis-lable-min.jpg?resize=765%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 765w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/expatkaliningrad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Kanapinis-lable-min.jpg?resize=224%2C300&amp;ssl=1 224w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/expatkaliningrad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Kanapinis-lable-min.jpg?resize=768%2C1029&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/expatkaliningrad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Kanapinis-lable-min.jpg?resize=9%2C12&amp;ssl=1 9w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/expatkaliningrad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Kanapinis-lable-min.jpg?resize=624%2C836&amp;ssl=1 624w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/expatkaliningrad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Kanapinis-lable-min.jpg?resize=18%2C24&amp;ssl=1 18w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/expatkaliningrad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Kanapinis-lable-min.jpg?resize=27%2C36&amp;ssl=1 27w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/expatkaliningrad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Kanapinis-lable-min.jpg?resize=36%2C48&amp;ssl=1 36w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/expatkaliningrad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Kanapinis-lable-min.jpg?w=896&amp;ssl=1 896w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 625px) 100vw, 625px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">First, let me assure you that the Kanapinis\u2019 head sits there proudly where it is poured at the top of the glass. It does not wassail away like someone who has vowed that they will love you for eternity but as soon as your back is turned they&#8217;ve gone. In other words, the Kanapinis\u2019 head has a certain respectful staying power. It does not go just like that, no matter how much you fool yourself that you would rather expect it to do so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">As you drink this beer, the loyal head clings firmly to the glass, like that special someone you should have clung to in the days before you realised that you were anything else but Love&#8217;s Young Dream. But these things invariably happen, and in the world of beery beverages we call this phenomenon not a bitch but by her name, which is lacing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\">Kanapinis (Cannabis) Beer in Kaliningrad<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">As the brew goes down, without unnecessary recourse to rude expressions such as brewer\u2019s droop, it is the fruity innuendos, saucy herbal asides and various suggestive digestive delights that service your longing palate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">The experience is an holistic one: a blend of soft and easy, a tincture of this and that. It\u2019s that mouthwash you almost bought from Aldi but then thought better of it, or that wine  you were made to taste by a bunch of pretentious farts, who wouldn\u2019t know the difference between Schrader Cellars Double Diamond Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon and a glass of Andrews Liver Salts (Would that be &#8216;Andrews&#8217; as in &#8216;Eamon?&#8217;). \u2018Spit it out! I should cocoa ~ not!\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Once Kanapinis has gone, it hasn\u2019t. Lacing still clings to your glass, and beyond the climactic finish, which is enough to make your toes curl, the aromatic aftermath is as sweet as the milf next door.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">One pint of Kanapinis is nearly never enough. It\u2019s wildly better than sex, with no refractory period. And you never have to worry about it living up to your expectations because, just like playing solitaire, you can cheat as much as you like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\">Kanapinis (Cannabis) Beer in Kaliningrad<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">You\u2019ve got to hand it to the brewers, whether they like it or not, Kanapinis is a babe of a beer. A double-page spread in a paunchy world where beers build better bodies, and you don\u2019t have to switch the light off in order to enjoy it. A word of warning, however, both to the sceptical and the uninitiated who are apt to read the wrong kinds of things and believe what they read is gospel: watch out for those beer reviews that should be taken with a pinch of salt or a glass of Eamon Andrews. Downright obscene it would be, if on consummating Kanapinis, you complained about her virtues and the value you never got for your money. This is not a beer to take home to your mother, but you have to admit its got style.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Kanapinis is habit-forming, but at least it is a natural one. If you don\u2019t come back for more, then there must be something wrong with you. Please to remember the age-old motto, not coming back for more often offends the Lady. I think the someone who coined this phrase was a fan of Margaret Thatcher?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>BOX TICKER\u2019S CORNER<\/strong><br><strong>Name of Beer:<\/strong>&nbsp;Kanapinis<br><strong>Brewer:<\/strong>&nbsp;Auk\u0161taitijos Bravorai<br><strong>Where it is brewed:<\/strong>&nbsp;Lithuania<br><strong>Bottle capacity:<\/strong>&nbsp;1litre<br><strong>Strength:<\/strong>&nbsp;5.1%<br><strong>Price:<\/strong>&nbsp;It cost me about 288 roubles (\u00a32.62)<br><strong>Appearance:<\/strong>&nbsp;Hazy-daisy amber<br><strong>Aroma:<\/strong>&nbsp;Beer bitter with subtle aromatic hints<br><strong>Taste:<\/strong>&nbsp;An encyclopaedic experience<br><strong>Fizz amplitude:<\/strong>&nbsp;4\/10<br><strong>Label\/Marketing:<\/strong> You wouldn\u2019t want him looking over your shoulder<br><strong>Would you buy it again?&nbsp;<\/strong>Just try and stop me, pal!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Beer rating<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"625\" height=\"59\" data-attachment-id=\"9632\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/expatkaliningrad.com\/ru\/kanapinis-cannabis-beer-in-kaliningrad-is-it-good\/screenshot-2023-11-20-151415\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/expatkaliningrad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Screenshot-2023-11-20-151415.png?fit=810%2C77&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"810,77\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Mick Hart Beer Reviews Kaliningrad\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/expatkaliningrad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Screenshot-2023-11-20-151415.png?fit=300%2C29&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/expatkaliningrad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Screenshot-2023-11-20-151415.png?fit=625%2C59&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/expatkaliningrad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Screenshot-2023-11-20-151415.png?resize=625%2C59&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Mick Hart Beer Rating Scals\" class=\"wp-image-9632\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/expatkaliningrad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Screenshot-2023-11-20-151415.png?w=810&amp;ssl=1 810w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/expatkaliningrad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Screenshot-2023-11-20-151415.png?resize=300%2C29&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/expatkaliningrad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Screenshot-2023-11-20-151415.png?resize=768%2C73&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/expatkaliningrad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Screenshot-2023-11-20-151415.png?resize=18%2C2&amp;ssl=1 18w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/expatkaliningrad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Screenshot-2023-11-20-151415.png?resize=624%2C59&amp;ssl=1 624w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/expatkaliningrad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Screenshot-2023-11-20-151415.png?resize=24%2C2&amp;ssl=1 24w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/expatkaliningrad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Screenshot-2023-11-20-151415.png?resize=36%2C3&amp;ssl=1 36w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/expatkaliningrad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Screenshot-2023-11-20-151415.png?resize=48%2C5&amp;ssl=1 48w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 625px) 100vw, 625px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-blue-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color has-medium-font-size wp-elements-f082c920ffb6c2fb99c6566271914626\" style=\"background-color:#faf4f4\">About the brewery and the beer: <strong>Auk\u0161taitijos Bravorai | Kanapinis<\/strong><br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aukstaitijosbravorai.lt\/home\/\" title=\"The brewer\u2019s website\">The brewer\u2019s website<\/a> has this to say about Kanapinis light:<br><br>\u201cCannabis, Unfiltered light beer: Beer is brewed according to the classic brewing technology.
