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.

Had this on tap at the bizarre Lido microbrewery on the outskirts of Riga in Nov 2004 it is housed in a wooden lodge complete with ice rink and kids entertainments quite possible the strangest micro brewery that I have ever been to. Golden colour slightly hazy, large white frothy head, some yeast and malt on the nose, quite tasty and refreshing I had a couple they went down well with some Latvian beer snacks.

The beer was fine, a bit malty, a touch sweet some hops there certainly ok.

Draught @ Alus Seta
Light lemon, malty aroma. Malty, sugary flavor, honey notes in the finish. Aftertaste has some hoppy (harsh) flavors. These Lido beers are not really top notch brews.

Sampled draught at Alus Seta, Riga
Medalus means "honey beer". Hazy dark straw colour with a thick, creamy head. Bad aroma like pears left sitting in the sun. Soft, smooth clean flavour. Hint of honeyish notes backdrop biscuity malts. Sweet finish that is slightly nutty. Inoffensive once you get past the nose.

Lively amber colour; gentle carbonation and dense head. Aroma has hints of malt and mustiness. Rather tart flavour - not objectionable, but odd for an amber lager. I had it at Stuburags, a Lido restaurant, so there’s no excuses if it was not meant to be sour. Plus, as I said, it worked. Oranges, fruity notes, maybe faint traces of malt round things out. Refreshing.
