Hazy ambery golden colour with a mediumsized white head. Aroma is grapefruits, some nectar, some biscuity malts and a bit lemongrassy tones. Flavour is pretty much having the same elements, but also a rather nice bitter kick to it. Quite fruity aftertaste.

From a 440ml can on 9/6/2024 (shared by Butz with thanks). Pours a hazy golden with a smallish head. The nose is fruity, very floral and strongly honeyed. Tastes of sweet citrus and honey, with a mild tangy bitterness. A cracking hazy. Latvian crafties I’ve tried to date have been brilliant.

Can, i believe from Foeders, drunk after assembling some Hagebau wooden storage shelves. I do not recommend this Baumarkt for shelves! Just go to IKEA, you'll save time for drinking beer and get better shelves. Yellowish amber with nice fine bubbled head, huge pineapple mango and passion fruit nose. Pretty sweet with minimal bitterness (i can hardly believe the 65 started on label), i did catch the lactose unfortunately so it's definitely got too much of that. Very full tropi-frutti flavor. Overall pretty good, but the lactose kind of dims it for me.

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.
