A primeira depois duma longa caminhada por Riga num dia onde os termômetros marcavam 39 graus. Não foi bebida à temperatura devida. Cereais e levedura. Dourada. Corpo médio, oleoso.

Lätis peab ikka läti laagrit ka jooma.. klassikaline võine ja viljane läti laager, õnneks maitseb suht värskelt.

0,5 from tap at Pētergailis restaurant with Snegurochka. A pretty pale lager in a tall slender glass does look nice. Sparkling clear golden straw body is inviting to look at. Topped by a pretty white head. Aroma is what you expect of straw, sugar and flour with notes of farmyard. Taste follows close on the heels of the aroma, so at least it is consistent. It also adds a strong impact of honey. Not bad. Well crafted with a nice enough mouthfeel. You'd be foolish to expect a wonderful experience from a pale lager (obviously) but as far as pale lagers go this is quite good, definitely in the upper reaches of this particular category of beers.

Bottled 500ml Clear golden colour, small white head. Light sweet candyish aroma. Light-bodied. Sweetish malty, grain and also in flavour some kind of chemically candy flavour. Neh.

Piebalgas - Piebalgas Smell - weak to medium, actually kind of felt it right after opening bottle, hops, some citrus, quite soft and simple, yet there is something better here than most regular ones. Dont know what, anyway extra point, because reasons. Foam- thin, soft, not watery, weak bitterness to sides of tongue at start, bit later bit more time by time by the sides mainly. Medium large foam, creamy white. Appearance- light weakly carbonated orange amber. Taste- hops, weak bitterness, weak sweetness, weak citrus, aftertaste hops, medium bitterness. Biting bitterness. Bit mixed feelings about this one, bitterness here is bit of a downer but there are some ok notes also... so not to make it better (due to aroma bonus) made it fit my 'okish' overall of 3.00

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.

Bottle 50 cl. Pours a clear golden with a white head. Sweet, clean, malty nose - åperhaps a vague hint of metal. Medium body, again sweet malts - and plenty of them - again a slightly metallic nose before a massive - and somewhat surprising - bitterness sets in. Pretty solid stuff. 110917
