pale yellow, white head. aroma of corn flour and wet dough. very sweet syrupy flavour with maybe a hint of grassy hop. blrh.

Bottle: Pours a pale straw yellow color, nice carbonation and a relatively nice head and lots of lacing. The nose is dusty with a light rice vinegar note, fermented mango peel and plastic. The flavor is a bit sweet and malty with some lingering vague background bitterness making as much a fuss as a white painted room. Vague grainy rotten cucumber texture in the mouthfeel. Finishes sharp, chalky, acidic. Not that great.

Clear gold with a white head. Aroma corn and alcohol(?). Taste is quite sweet corny malts with alcohol and light hops. I dunno why I am tasting so much alcohol in a 5.2% beer, but it drops the rating.

Very pale in colour with rather big lively head. Aroma is very weak. Flavor starts off sweet and ends in a dry hoppy finish.

Clear pale golden color with a medium creamy white head. Sweet grainy aroma. Sweet malt with hints of corn.

Tap, Riga... A terrible, headache inducing pint. Truly awful chemical taste, I can only imagine that the pipes hadn’t been cleaned correctly...

Poured the color of a typical macro..but more head. Sadly, it disappeared quickly again looking like a macro with zero lacing. Almost no aroma but I got a weird hint of mustard. Slight fruity malt taste. Not much going on here. Only slightly better than an American macro.

Clear pale gold. Soft, fluffy snow white head. Strong cooked corn stench. Thin, fizzy feel. Bland, sweet honey-ish malt flavour w/ notes of cooked corn & diesel fuel. Somewhat harsh mineral bitterness in finish.

This stuff is not bad, sort of like Warsteiner, in the consistency of drinking a loaf of bread, very doughy with lots of adjuncts.

Zelta Gold, says the label, brewed by Aldaris, pride of Latvia. Pale yellow coloration, clear, slimmish white head, leaving some lace...eh, rather regular... ...aroma? skunkitty-skunk! Flat, to putrid...foul...not nice...searching, searching...nope, not good... Taste (if I dare!)...not that great...grainy, but very limp...not horrible, but very wan, very ugh, very hoo-daddy, that ain’t so hot! Faint body, no finish, just a mess, me no like... ...their porter’s good, though!
