3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Draught (Gauja, Riga) - Copper brown/red in colour with a small head. Sweet and malty aroma with some plums and other fruity elements. Sweetish malty taste with some fruit and raisins and some slightly roasted notes. Rather sweet but fairly tasty.
3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
0,5 L, vat. Donkeramber tot roodbruin, prachtig gesluierd. Kleine parelende lichtbeige schuimkraag. Herbaal, zelfs theeachtig in de neus. Smaak: chocoladeachtig, melasse, licht zurig, droog, krieken- en pruimentoetsen. Een beetje astringent. Speciaal.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Draught in brewery. Red-brown beer with little head which disappeared so fast. Sweet, malty, fruity aroma. Malty flavor with some fruity tones at the beginning. Then feel roasted tones and finish is little bit hoppy. Good.
2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
UPDATED: JUN 2, 2008 Draught (Gauja, Riga)
Orangy brown, slightly hazy, no head. I didn’t find much aroma at first. Anna says there’s plenty, but can’t describe it. Slightly fruity, I guess. soft creamy palate. As it warms a little, the aroma comes out - apple, and associated esters. Slightly watery and refreshing, but sweetness and creaminess compensate nicely. Red/amber ale maltiness and subtle bittering from hops. In the end it’s creamy. And still sticky sweet, the only negative.
1.9 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 7/20
This is a beer that probably doesn’t exist online, but in Jurmala it was clearly on tap. Dark, looks like raisin pulp. No head or bubbles. Smalls like fallen and rotten apples. Taste fresh, fruity and raisiny. Like a home-made Finnish sahti, very thick and... weird.
