Smell- weak, metallic hops maybe. Foam- thin, but to soft side, bit of carbonated feel, some bitter notes only after shaking, medium large foam, creamy white, yellow color. appearance- clear yellow, orange amber, some carbonation inside, but not on sides. Taste- some hops, some citrus, aftertaste is hops, some bitterness. Feels bit better since I last tried it, strange, still dont like it, aftertaste is bit of a downer for me.

First alco beer of the day, lets see :D I am amzed I did not have it before, seems Aldaris Mezpils is not fully rated by me. Smell-weak, some roast notes,roasted malt maybe. Foam- medium thick, soft, roast notes with bitterness to sides of tongue. Medium head, brown, white color. Appearance- clear quite dark brown amber. Taste- roast, dark chocolate notes, caramel notes, bitterness, aftertaste is roasty caramel. Maybe some alcohol notes. Decent actually, I thought bitterness in this was not ok, turned out its fine. Could have bit more sweetness as I do have sweet tooth.

Õlle on selline jook, et iga uus kord kui klaasi või pudeli suule tõstad, siis leiad midagi uut, sõltuvalt tuhandest-miljonist pisiasjast, mis hetke olukorda mõjutavad. Seega piirdun iga õlle juures selle tekstiga. 1,0Can.

'German' beer. Remember it first appeared in Alus celle, this is only other place I have seen it. Smell - medium strong, hops, caramel, citrus, sweetness, dried fruits, bit malt maybe, kind of like it. Foam- thin, to watery side, but soft, light, weak bittersweet tones to sides of tongue. While, quite large foam, cant pour 0.33 into 0.5 straight up. Appearance- light, hazy, yellow, orange amber. Taste-weak sweetness, weak bitterness, some citrus, refreshing easy drinkable, actually quite good, I like it, may buy again, what is quite rare thing with these reviews...

Smell - weak to medium, citrus, hops?, acidic a bit. Foam - thin, not watery, soft, hoppy biting bitterness for middle of tongue and up. Medium large, creamy yellow white color. Appearance - clear amber, medium dark, some carbonation. Taste - bitter, hops, citrus, aftertaste quite weak at start, but do remain at throat for some time. Not my style.

Aldaris Porteris 2013, seems it was staying in bottle for few more years instead, Lets see... OH GOD NO ! seems it was shaken at some time, so it basically exploded... 1/3 of bottle is now on the floor... Smell- medium strong, roast, caramel, chocolate. Foam- HUGE upon opening, medium thick to thick, soft, some caramel, some sweetness, some bitterness and roast notes. Appearance- dark hazy, brown. Taste-malt, sweet, kvass, caramel, weak bitterness, surprisingly drinkable. Reminds me of kvass with alcohol, like it, but sadly lost 1/3 of it.. so as it can stay in bottle for next 10 years, I may buy some for later.

500ml can. Pours hazy orange with no head. Aroma is grapefruit juice and sugar. Taste is sweet, grapefruit lemonade. It would make a good grapefruit lemonade.
