Inspired by the wild beauty of west coast of Latvia. This malty beer with deep amber color and a warm autumn aroma is brewed with heather and wild thyme - typical vegetation of those parts, as well as a bit of Sladek hops for balance.

Sampled from tap at Borefts 2016. Slightly hazy, golden amber with a white head. Sweetish, slightly spicy and a little fruity aroma of orange peel and some herbs. Sweetish, a little sourish, fruity and herbal taste of orange peel, some peach and herbs, followed by a short, slightly bitter, moderately tart and herbal finish. Thin to medium body, slightly effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Okay!

24/IX/16 - on tap @ Borefts Bier Festival - BB: n/a (2016-1118) Thanks to the Belgian ratebeer crew for sharing today's beers!
Cloudy orange to amber beer, creamy white head, pretty stable, adhesive, leaving a nice lacing in the glass. Aroma: funky, sourish, floral, herbal, pretty weird. MF: ok carbon, medium to light body. Taste: bit watery, bitter, herbal touch, bitter, somewhat lemony. Aftertaste: hoppy, citrus, bit sourish, herbal, floral, bit soapy.

Tap at Borefts. Hazy pinkish golden with white head. Lemon, peach, bitter and sour red berries, flowery, grassy. I don’t get much thyme but this is quite herbal, but balanced by nice fruits. Under medium sweet, light bitter and sour. Medium bodied. Good!
