Draught @ Angars, Riga Aroma has sweet malt, some honey and hay. Flavour has honey, sweet malt, mild grapefruity hoppiness in the finish, turning into the direction of gooseberry bush leaves. Some odd sour vibe is present. Contains the elements of an usual unfiltered Latvian lager.

Can from Linda shop, Burton on Trent (not listed in RateBeer). Pours a golden amber with a sizeable frothy white head. Malts and nuts in the aroma. In the mouth the initial reaction is sweet malts, closely followed by continental hops, low carbonation some corn and a caramel base. Bitterness increases towards the finish. This is a decent Vienna lager – inoffensive and swiggable.

Smell- weak citrus, wheat, faint spice. Foam- thin, weak yeast, citrus, wheat. Head is quite large, white in color. Sticks a bit. Appearance- brewer bottle cap, simple label, but somewhat nice. Clear yellow color, few carbonation bubbles. From - pint Taste- citrus, wheat, weak lemon, faint hops. Generally feels bit watery, but feels like it has some potential in the background that is simply not getting there.
