A decent brew in the bottle. Clean, moderately hoppy.

Zunächst einmal großen Dank an Nils C., der mir dieses Bier aus Lettland mitbrachte. Das Aldaris Pilzener ist optisch pilstypisch hell, der Schaum geht auch in Ordnung. Getreidig-zitroniger Geruch. Ansprechend malziger und herber Geschmackseindruck, wenn auch etwas metallisch. Dies hält sich aber sehr in Grenzen. Malziger Ausklang. Ein würziges und malzbetontes Pils, das eher an ein Dortmunder Export erinnert. Trotzdem ist das Bier eine Empfehlung wert. Ganz gut.

Bottle from Beers of Europe. Sour hop aroma. Light yellow colour. Bright fresh biscuity hop flavour. Another good Latvian lager.

UPDATED: JAN 21, 2012 bottle and on tap in Riga - golden body with a white head - a very standard lager beer, nice and easy drinkable - moderate malty and hoppy aroma and flavour

Bottle from Turkish shop on Smethwick High Street. A standard Lager. Actually, to be fair, it’s a pretty reasonable one: clean, crisp and not disgusting. Pleasant dry malt. Pretty refreshing. The aroma wasn’t terrible either. Better than expected. (bottle marked as 4.2%)

Bottled in Riga. Clear golden color, elegant bubbly aspect. Medium resistence head. Discreet aroma of cereals and dampen grains. Medium smooth body with flavour of dried grassy, hop and fresh malty content on the final. Good bitter and alcohol sentors.

Easy to drink and to forget. grassy and simple. Not as good as it sounds in the description.

Fruity and hoppy presentation on the pour. Good colour in a typical pils style and a pleasant balance.
