Re-rate, draught at Lido, Riga. Hazy amber, small head. Sweet and doughy. Medium bodied with soft mouthfeel. Bread and some syrup. Light malt bitterness. Draught at Lido, Tallinn, Estonia. Cloudy deep golden, creamy head. Mild citric nose. Sweetish with light-medium body and fairly clean mouthfeel. Some caramel. A little sourish and lacking in depth. Resiny bitterness. Off shape, if it hadn’t been poured at one of Lido’s own establishments I wouldn’t have rated it ,now it’s been in their control all the way to my glass. (4/5/4/2/8=2.3)

Draught, 4.5% at LIDO. Cloudy amber colour. Very small head. The flavour is OK malty, with a little roasted malt. Perhaps also the tiniest note of smoke. Pleasantly mild carbonation. Simple, but nice.

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.

Draught, 4.5% at the big LIDO place. Weak fruity aroma. Hazy golden colour, small creamy white head. The flavour is quite mild but with some good breadiness, a hint of hop sweetness. Slightly watery, but refreshing.

Draught (Lido Restaurant, Central Riga) - Hazy amber in colour with a large head. Bready,malty and yeasty aroma with some citrus notes. Slightly watery at first. It is fairly sweet with malt being noticeable along with some caramel notes.

On tap in Riga Airport. Amber colour, hazy (unfiltered and unpasteurised), moderate head. Lovely aroma of butterscotch with notes of honey. Nice malty flavour with notes of toffee and a hint of honey. Not bad at all.
