Undistinctive lager. Has some smoothness. Light in overall: from hops and bitterness to malts and spices. Grainy, maybe bit watery. Soft carbonated. Light golden color.

On Tap. Thin white head, diminishes fast. Clear golden colour. Aroma is sweet and fruity, little bit metallic. Taste us mildly malty and little bit bitter. Pretty thin.

Bottle. Pours clear and yellow with a medium white head that dissipates fairly quickly with some lacing. Light aroma of grain, perhaps carboard. Flavor is slightly sweet grainy. Light bitter finish. Surprisingly rich mouthfeel.

Pale gold & clear. Thick white head that stuck around for a while. Cereal dominates the nose. Soft, creamy mouthfeel, with a smooth finish. The aroma is mostly cereal, and the hops give it a light bitterness. That bitterness gets sharper along the way, but overall an easy-going lager. My first foray into Latvian beer has been an enjoyable one.

Beer wich I prefer when next day is not a weekend. Bottle 0,5 l and also available in can 0,5 l.
