0,5l glass bottle. Nice hopy aroma, malt on the tongue. Too much carbs maybe, but aftertaste is soft and not long.

Bottle @ Porins, Liepaja. Pours golden with a white head. Aroma of malt, grain, little grass. Flavor is malt, grain, little sweet apples, light grass. Thin body, lively carbonation. 040313

Clear pale golden with medium quite stable white head. Lacing. Aroma.. well.. for the first time I felt vegetables X) grassy hoppy, bit malty, metallic Bit sweetish to light bitter finish. Not awful, thou way too watery and strange.

Thanks to Morten for this random tick. Pour clear n’ golden, with aprox no head. Aroma of straw; and slightly fruity, slight banana. Taste is a little sweet upfront, with quite some bitterness towards the end. Watery body, with a rather fizzy carbonation.

Pours pale golden, clear, bubbly with white head diminishing soon. Aroma - far away barley malt, rice, grassy hoppy. Taste like rice porridge, boiled vegetables, a bit hoppy at the end. Light sweet flavor without direct sweetness in taste. Watery mouthfeel, light body, light dry finish. Impression - about 10 years ago when I was young and beautifull, this was quite casual beer for me and my buddies. But industry goes "forward" ( meaning f.u.c.k.ward). So this again is ruined recipe like all SENČU - (ancestor) in my fatherland since post soviet time. Now it means not "like old times" but low quality. Well we should export it to Japan where people like rice brews. Facts versus values..

Lite, life thirsty for beer, slightly varying flavors, foam remains a surprisingly long time, so it is enjoying a surprisingly long time.

Nice too, a little bit more strong than the other in taste but still good. Not so sweet not bitter and nice head.

On keg at S.Brevinga Alus, Riga. Pours a blonde colour with a thin white head. Aroma of caramel, yeast and barley. Metallic flavour with alcohol, barley and grassy hops. Horrible metallic linger. Not good at all!

Det blir inte roligare än vad man gör det, påstås det. Om det ändå vore så enkelt. I så fall skulle jag kunna dricka Piebalgas Sencu och skratta hela vägen till Systembolaget. Ps. Det kan jag inte. Ds.

Warning! Early amateur rating! Light refreshing lager. Crisp palate. Not bitter or watery. Alright.
