COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
A beer created in collaboration with Latvian rock band Prāta vētra, based on the old recipe from Jānis Jubalts’ father’s recipe book. Together with a classic hops and malt scent, the velvety, mild taste and distinct caramel aroma of Mītavas beer gives this variety a characteristic and unique scent combination.

Bottled in Jurmala. Deep golden. Aroma of cardboard and rotting fruits. Sugary sweer with some caramel. Lots of wet paper, no bitternss. Substandard industry lager.

Sweet malt aroma. Dry malt flavor with hints of caramel, raisins, brown sugar and berries? Dry and bitter aftertaste. Yet another awful Latvian caramel beer!

Pale golden pour. The aroma is fairly sweet and malty. Full malt flavour with a little bit of light hoppiness. Herbal with a little bit of soft pepper. There is a little bit of light fruit as well as a hint of crackers. Pretty tasty stuff while I’m listening to a band sing folk songs in a language I can’t understand.

Brandman (969) - Helsinki, FINLAND - DEC 21, 2010
Golden body, white head. Aroma is flowery and malty with caramel. Flavour has only malt and a little corn flake flavour. Little bitterness on palate. But anyway, all these baltic lagers are quite the same. Unfortunately.

yngwie (8717) - Kristiansand, NORWAY - JUL 16, 2010
Bottle. It pours a clear, sparkling golden body under a finger-thick off-white head leaving lacings. Metallic, grainy nose with corn-like sweet-ish scents. Grainy, sweetish flavor with alcohol and some metal. Medium body. Sweet, grainy finish. Definitely not my beer, didn’t finish it either. Too sweet and metallic. 100716

Can (BB 01/2011, PBF)
Clear amber color, small white head. Grassy, cardboardish aroma. Sweetish, almost honeyish, low bitterness, grassy notes. Well, it is crap, but not the most hopeless Latvian bulk lager.
