Medium white head. Slightly hazy deep brown body with carbonation. Nutty earthy papery aroma with toasty strawy notes. Dry-sweet earthy caramelly grainy taste with chocolatey notes. Mid-bodied. Mild, soft mouthfeel. Dryish mealy earthy nutty aftertaste with grainy chocolatey dusty notes. Interesting, unusual, extremely earthy. Similar to Lithuanian kaimiskas. (0.3l draft at Folkklubs Ala Pagrabs, Riga.)

On tap at brevinga, riga. Good white head. Hazy blond pour. Smooth taste. Quite a decent brew.

Pours dark mudy brown. Nice white cap becomes thin white, but long lasting. Aroma is most difficult to me in this beer cause I really don’t know what it is, maybe some caramel malt with alco but there is something common with "Brūveris" made ones - I call it used oil from mcDonald’s - but maybe it is some kind of noble ingredients. High carbonation. Medium bodied. Not sour. Sweet with mystical something. Weird. Must re-rate.

Draught @ S.Brevinga Alus un viskija salons, Tirgonu iela 4, Riga, Latvia LV - 1050.

Clear medium to dark amber orange colour with a average, frothy, good lacing, mostly lasting, off-white to light beige head. Aroma is moderate malty, caramel, light straw. Flavour is moderate sweet and light to moderate bitter with a average to long duration, caramel, sweet malt, light straw. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft. [20120729]

Tap (Brevinga Laukums, Riga)
Slightly dirty oily aroma. Some tobacco. Deep orange, small tight head. Half way between Piebalgas and Tervetes in "character". So slightly quirky, but pretty nice. The bitterness stays with you quite a long time. Smooth palate. Certainly an adequate characterful beer, but a bit of this and a bit of that.

Draught at S. Brevinga, Riga. Cloudy amber, small head. Honey aroma. Very sweet with medium body and rounded mouthfeel. Some apricot, plenty of caramel. Some honey stickyness, low bitterness

Draught (Alus Salons, Riga) - Amber/copper coloured. Malty aroma with notes of grain and dried fruit. Malty, grainy and slightly sweet taste with notes of sultanas and dried apricot.
