Inspired by Latvian folk songs on juniper beer, this one will resemble a refreshing walk in our corniferous seaside forests. Brewed with juniper berries and a variety of hops derived from regional wild hops - Kazbek. Fruity and resinous, with a lightly kilned malt backbone and a blasphemously inviting finish.

Tap @ Alus Darbnīca Labietis, Riga. Unclear orange golden body under a white head. Aroma has citric fruit, juniper, hint of honey and spices. Taste is unusually like aroma, pale malt, citric fruit, honey, juniper, herbal, grassy and low bitterness. Medium body and same aftertaste. Interesting with the spices and wild hops, but I can't quite get the hang of it.

Õlle on selline jook, et iga uus kord kui klaasi või pudeli suule tõstad, siis leiad midagi uut, sõltuvalt tuhandest-miljonist pisiasjast, mis hetke olukorda mõjutavad. Seega piirdun iga õlle juures selle tekstiga.
