Old rating - Notes from my Latvia trip in Summer of 2018, 500ml draft pour at the brewery, pours a dark amber with a white foamy head. Aromas & tastes of citrus, flora, caramel, pine & hops. Medium body. Dry mildly bitter finish. Very enjoyable on a hot afternoon.

Can on 20th June 2024 from Labietis Centraltirgus, Riga, opened to celebrate the Summer Solstice. Pours a clear, bright golden amber with rapidly diminishing off-white foam and scant lacing. Ripely fruity aroma. Citrus peels, tangy fruits and lush grassiness in-mouth, and a grassy hop finish. Full bodied with a smooth yet engaging mouthfeel.
Muidu poleks paha, aga päris pärmine. See omakorda tähendab, et päris kaunane maitse. Okish.

0,5l bottle from K-Supermarket Lasihytti, Espoo. Hazy orange beer pours hugely with cloudy white head. Aroma has grass, pine, citrus fruits and caramel. Flavor has caramel, citrus, herbs, pine and hops. Very good, fresh and strong enough body. This is how I want my pale ale!

Smell- weak, maybe hops. Foam- thin, large in mouth, weak bitter-sweet, malty notes, light. Head is large, white color, maybe bit creamy, sticks. Appearance- clear, yellow, amber-ish, no carbonation. Taste- weak bitter, malt and hops, citrus, refreshing, light. Decent light beer as neutral as it can be. Nothing wrong about it, but nothing out of the box.

On tap at Labietis, pours a clear golden blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out biscuity malt and a touch of hops. Flavour is along the same lines, with biscuity malt and subdued earthy hops. Dry and easy to drink. Solid.

Tap @ the source. Orange pour, relatively clear with a slight cloudy feel. Apples in the nose, fresh and sweetish. Malty character carries on to the taste. Body feels medium, not too hoppy but seemingly doing the job. Good bitterness, drinkable, somewhat actually "green" beer. Still getting that Labietis house herbal thing.

Draft at the brewpub. Dark gold, almost flat. Lovely light aroma with lots of malt but there’s also a gentle nudge of peaches. Tastes sweet for a second or two but then turns bitter/medicinal. The finish is quite bitter with lingering TCP on the aftertaste. Oily body. It’s a shame but I’m just not into this beer.
