Bottle 500ml. @ Petalax Beer Festival 2010 - the 4th. edition.

Clear light to medium orange yellow color with a average, frothy to creamy, good lacing, mostly lasting, white to off-white head. Aroma is moderate malty, herbal, light buttery. Flavor is moderate sweet and light bitter with a average duration, fruity, sweet sugar - malt. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft. [20100703]

Pours a sprightly golden with a ruby tinge. Rich, honeyed aroma. Tastes of a watery, insufficiently steeped hop solution. Not well.

Sweet malt aroma. Sour malt flavor with hints of caramel and butterscotch. Watery and bitter aftertaste. Yet another awful Latvian caramel beer!

Pale golden pour. The aroma is quite metallic and a little bit astringent as well. Sort of sweet but there is a touch of woody hop character as well. Light and assertively bitter. Clean though.

Light amber with little head. Aroma of grains and faint smoke. Tastes of yeast, smoke, grains and some hops. An interesting pale lager.

0.5 l bottle at Petalax Beer Festival 2010. Golden color. Sweetish, honeyish malty with toffee, bread and butter. Slightly fruity.

Bottled@PBF2010. Yellowish golden colour with a mediumsized foamy white head. Aroma is malts, butter, some metal and mild chemical waste. Flavour is quite much the same in a quite harsh balance.

Bottle. Golden beer with a fairly strong head. The aroma is fairly yeasty and slightly smokey, and the flavour is malty, gently bitter and mildly yeasty. Overall an average quite yeasty flavoured beer.

Bottled (BB 08/2010)
Golden coloe, small white head. Yeasty, grainy, toilet aroma. Diacetylic, herbal even licorice flavor. Decent body. Lingering aftertaste of herbs and diacetyl. Unclean.
