50cl bottle from the Valmiermuiža shop in Riga. Pours slightly hazy amber with an off-white head. Fruity aroma with peaches, oranges, hints of herbs and caramel. Moderate sweet with nice hoppy flavours and a lightly citrusy and bitter finish. Decent single hop IPA in my opinion. Tasty and surprisingly easy to drink.

Another 500ml bottle carried back home from Latvia and shared by Elisabeth. Frothy white head to a near-clear amber coloured body. Nice lacework. Floral hops on the nose. Blended taste of caramel, dried and fresh fruits. Long-lived bittersweet ending. Medium bodied. Pleasing (West of Nøteborg Session with Stefan and Elisabeth, Tromsø 20.09.2014).

Lemony hops to the taste buds added by brown malts and herbs. Bittersweet finish. Rounded mouth feel and fine bodied. Good drinking (Session xxxix with Stefan and Elisabeth, Tromsø 20.09.2014).
