Small offwhite creamy lasting head. Hazy yellow body with carbonation. Mealy fruity aroma with honey notes, fairly weak. Dryish dusty honey taste with papery notes. Mid-bodied. Mild, soft mouthfeel. Dryish mealy honey aftertaste with earthy dusty notes. It’s not bad, but low on flavour. Fills out a bit as I drink, so served too cold. (0.3l draft at Alus Setas, Riga.)

Draught, 4.5% at LIDO. Hazy golden colour, almost no head. The flavour is slightly sweet with a little vinous paper note that must be from the honey. Tastes all right, actually. Good, mild carbonation.

Had this on tap at the bizarre Lido microbrewery on the outskirts of Riga in Nov 2004 it is housed in a wooden lodge complete with ice rink and kids entertainments quite possible the strangest micro brewery that I have ever been to. The beer was fine, a bit malty, a touch sweet some hops there certainly ok.

Draught @ Alus Seta
Light lemon, malty aroma. Malty, sugary flavor, honey notes in the finish. Aftertaste has some hoppy (harsh) flavors. These Lido beers are not really top notch brews.

Sampled draught at Alus Seta, Riga
Medalus means "honey beer". Hazy dark straw colour with a thick, creamy head. Bad aroma like pears left sitting in the sun. Soft, smooth clean flavour. Hint of honeyish notes backdrop biscuity malts. Sweet finish that is slightly nutty. Inoffensive once you get past the nose.
