3.1 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
On keg in Riga. Pours a blonde colour with a fair white head. Aroma is very bready with caramel and light grassy hops. Similar bready flavour with mild bitterness and grassy hops again. A little oily mouth-feel with mild carbonation and CO2 prickle. Caramel linger. Not too bad.
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.
3.3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle from Beers of Europe. Unusual creamy aroma. Slightly hazy, rich golden colour. Strange flavour for a pale lager - butter and cloves, slightly sweet. Interesting, different and not bad.

Bottle. Slightly hazy gold with a White head. Aromas are grain with wheat and hints of corn. Some cream and citrus. Flavours are sweet grain with hints of sweet caramel. Soft lemon with a buttery slick palate. Spritzy carbonation. Not bad.

Draught (Paddy Whelans, Riga) - Dark gold/amber with a white head. Malty and grainy aroma. Clean tasting with malt and a bit of citrus. Well made, but nothing special.

500 ml bottle. From Latvia.
Amber colour. Nutty, woody? and sweet aroma. Sweet, buttery (diacetyl) and nutty flavour. Lots of diacetyl but I like this beer.
1.7 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 6/20
Golden colour. malty with sweet notes and a grainy alcoholic finish. Could be worse.
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.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Another macro LAtvian brewery, not bad, not special, refreshing and nice flavour.
