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.

330ml Bottle - Golden with a haze and a white head. Herbs (I am not familiar enough with meadowsweet and yarrow to discern them), citrus and spice in the aroma. Fruity, sweet and herbal taste with a slight tartness and notes of lemon, peach and grapefruit. Refreshing, enjoyable and interesting.

Draft sample @ TCBW ’16. Dorée sur un léger trouble, col fin blanc. Arôme est axé sur un bouquet vert de sous-bois avec de belles effluves de pin voire de résineux de forêt avec ce côté sève. Petite touche de citronné est également présente. Palais au profil rappelant les épines de pin, de mousse et lichen de forêt et bois. Une petite douceur résiduelle perce avec un léger citronné sur la fin. Malt rappelant un léger cara pils, pointe de pâle. Intéressant, unique et ce que l’on attend de pays baltes qui explorent les richesses de leur terre.
