1.8 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 6/20
An orange beer with no head. There no real aroma. The flavor is malty with an OK bitter end.
2.8 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Bottled. Golden coloured, big white head. Aroma is quite sweet, caramellish malts. Sweetish flavour of sweet alcohol at first (around 7-8C). After it gets waremer it kind of gets fuller, it’s sweet alcohol along with some sweetish fruit. Doesn’t need much, but this is actually very good for a lager, as "getting warmer" is not a big issue, rather it is adding tothe flavour.
1.5 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 5/20
Bottled. Golden coloured with small head. Sharp cellary apple aroma. Sweet and fruity with some honey and low bitterness.
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Bottle, 4.8%. Mild grassy hop aroma. Clear dark golden colour. Small white head. The flavour is very slightly hoppy, then turns a bit more malty. Slightly sugary, but OK.
1.7 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 7/20
Golden body, creamy head and some particulate matter. Oh well, it’s not much. Cidery esters in both aroma and palate. Gently malty character with sweetish finish. Judging by Per’s rating, this apple character is intended. I’m not keen.
2.5 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Draught
Honey golden with small white head. Aroma of malts and phenol. Sweet rounded malty mouthdfeel. Some hop bitterness in the finish and oily aftertaste. This is one of better Latvian lagers - which does not need much.
2.1 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 8/20
Bottle. It pours a clear golden body with a small white head. Grainy and hop-fruity aroma with a slight sewer-like hint. Quite bitter, with a fruity and grainy flavor too. Medium body, and a quite bitter finish. Sure not a big beer, neither strenght or flavorwise, but it’s sure drinkable. I like the bitterness in this one, but the rest is rather ordinary. (080426)
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Draught. Pours a golden amber colour. The aroma is sweet and malty. The flavour is bitter and dry with sweet maltiness.
2.4 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Bottle. Golden colour with a white head. Aroma is malt, hop, fruit. Flavour is fruit, malt, hop, grain. Ordinary / thin beer.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Pale golden pour. The aroma is a bit sweet with a little bit of minerally character. As it warms up it’s actually pretty decent. A little bit of light sweetness and some faint herbal character. Pretty decent actually - works with my shishlak.
