This bottle contains a latvian summer meadow in full bloom. The giddy meadowsweet and the herby yarrow are brought to a modern rhythm by the fruity bitterness of Amarillo hops. Wheat and barley malts continue this summer dance, which ends with meadowsweet in blush.

14.12.2018 -- 0.5l bottle from qoqa, bb 09.2019. pours an almost clear golden with a big steady head. aroma of funk, redcurrant, spruce perfume. flavour of candy, cardboard, flowers, oranges. sweetish, fizzy carbonation, short finish. a bit disappointing considering the aroma, but quite drinkable nevertheless.

50cl bottle from Stockmann Riga. Pours hazy golden with a decent, lasting, white head. Herbal and slightly hoppy aroma with mild fruity notes, pale malt and hints of citrus. Moderate sweet with fairly mild flavours ditto bitterness. Easy too drink and quite enjoyable.

Pours beautiful hazy yellow with a decent foamy head. Prefect look of NE IPA only its not. Aroma is grainy, nice malt character. Clean and fresh, herbs and raudrohi. Taste is totallybherbak, hay, herbal tea of medicinal quality . Honey and more herbal stuff in the finish. Actually liking it better than I thought I would.

Fulminant carbonation in yellow-golden beer, releasing UFO-explosion and towering dense white head, again extremely stable & lacy. Herbal, medicinal nose (huge head hampering perception). Pale malts, bit flowery, drying grass. Bitter, medicinal, chamomile, vegetable. Finishes even more bitter, wry, but almost no hopnotes. Some astringency; creamy MF (also thanks to the head), wry and very dry aftertaste. Light to medium bodied; overcarbonated. It’s certainly not bad, even very interesting, but if this is the experience of a wild meadow in full blossom, then I’m glad not to be of the bovine persuasion. 7/4/7/3/13

On tap at Labietis Central Market. Murky golden colour, white head. Aroma is very herbal, citrusy, hoppy, floral, spicy yeast. Flavour is floral, herbal, citrus, unexpected lemony tartness, light spicy, bittersweet finish with some tartness. Light to medium bodied. Takes a little getting used to, tasty.
