Can. A golden beer with a white head. The aroma has notes of sweet malt, straw, alcohol, and metal. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, straw, and alcohol, leading to a dry alcoholic finish. Thanks MiP for sharing.

Piwo z puszki w smaku malo chmielowej goryczy, płaskie, kartonowe, plytki ostry smak. Piję na kacu i daje mi chwilę orzeźwienia i ulgi, bo normalnie ocenilbym je chyba jeszcze niżej

Clear yellow with a rocky white head. Grassy aroma. taste is medium malt with green apple notes and light bitterness.

Bottle. Pours a pale yellow with a small, quickly fading head. Not much aroma. Flavor is grainy and cardboard like with some sweetish malt notes. No hops whatsoever. Not good. The Bud of Latvia?

500ml bottle in a shaker. Pours light golden with a thick, white head. Aroma of tin, dry white bread, and hardly any hops. Flavor the same. Don’t waste your time with this beer.

UPDATED: SEP 18, 2011 On keg in Riga. A blonde lager with a large white head. Metallic aroma with bready yeast notes. Flavours of caramel, bready yeast and barley. Nicely bitter. Moderate carbonation and a little CO2 prickle. A metallic aftertaste spoils this beer which could otherwise pass for an Aussie lager. A long biscuity linger and a foamy mouth-feel.

Av allt ett öl kan smaka väljer Aldara Lukus att smaka nästintill ingenting - eller åtminstone så lite som möjligt. Eftersom det är en lager kan man kosta på sig att vara förlåtande och låta det gå ned i strupen för den här gången.

UPDATED: MAY 29, 2011 Big brown bottle. Nice clean aroma. Looks decent in the glass. First taste is rather rude for a lager, comes across more like high gravity or cheap malt liquor. Aactually seems to be much more than the 5% listed here, more like 7%. Gets a little more civilized as the session continues. However it still has that little nasty bitter background.

Bottle. Golden bodied with a medium eggshell white head. Nose is grainy with malt, soft honey notes, light lemon and grassy Euro hops. Taste is bready malt, honey, buttery biscuit grassy hops and light, zesty lemon. Body is light-medium with a pleasant dryness and a crisp feel. Ends with a touch bigger hop bitterness, more honey, bread dough, grains and light lemon.

Tasted from a 500 mL bottle purchased in Littleton, Colorado. Pours a clear pale yellow appearance with a large white head. Pale malts and just a hint of skunkiness in the head. Fairly rounded body for a Pale Lager.

Pours a slighjtly cloudy golden color with a short lived head. Mild aroma with a hint of bread. Mildly hopped. A little above average.
