First took this down as the Gaisais, then we realized it was actually the Specialais, by the time we had already got and rated that, so two ratings to compare within an hour of the same beer, thinking they were different.Hazy golden color, white head. Malty, sweet, herbal scent. Malty, herbal, short taste. Malty aftertaste. Medium mouthfeel, low bitterness.7/3/6/3/12=3.1RerateRBESG 2017, sampled on July 20, 2017.LIDO Atputas Centrs, Riga.

On tap at Lido Atputas. Hazy deep golden colour, white head. Aroma of honey, grain, unmalted barley. Flavour follows, sweet, grainy, honey, malty, bitter finish. Light bodied. Not a fan of these Eastern European honey beers.
