Can at home. Clear amber with off white head. Caramel, pine, suvary nalts, thick resinous hops, marmalade, juniper, dried red berries. Solid sweet and quite bitter. Full sticky body. Old school DIPA, nice.

Can. A golden beer with a beige head. The aroma has notes of citrus fruits, pine needles, hops, and malt. The flavor is sweet with notes of pine needles, hops, spices, citrus fruits, and malt, leaiding to a bitter finish. 7/4/8/3/15

On tap at Kakis Maisa I'm becoming little bit suspicious, that something is wrong with the serving here. Again, nothing exceptional, okay, but... There's that strange flavor.

From a 440ml can on 10/6/2024. Pours a clear deep golden with a medium head that disappears quickly. Has a mild citrus fruit and resin nose. Tastes of sweet orange and apricot with a massive resin pine bitterness that lingers long. Has a chewy palate and moderate carbonation. Yet another excellent Latvian crafty.

Small off-white head, over unclear amberish golden beer. Caramel, even toffee; bit preserved orangepeel, even liqueurish. Bitterish flavour, bit resiny, again preserved orangepeel, resins. Something as from vegetable peelings, husks, dry leaves. Medium bodied at least, oily feel, good carbonation. Apparently packed with C-hops, reading the blurb, but they come out crude, unrefined. And I get the impression that Labietes again added herbs they plucked from the roadside. Purchased @ Beer in a Box, Alkmaar.

Bottle ordered from Craft Beer Station, Northampton. Aroma has a resinous streak and citrus, with a sweet stone fruit edge. Opaque amber. Thick foamy white head. Heavy bitter. A big dose of resin. A fruity streak. Develops a slightly sweet citrus element. Spice. Underlying malts. There's something not quite fully developed about it, a tad raw. Medium bodied. Slick. Average-fizzy carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent finish. Punchy but just quite the finished article.
