Clear golden colour. Moderate white airy head. Very low retention. No lacing. Grains, sweet corn, caramel, minimal fruity yeast on nose. Light to medium body. Oily. Sweetish grainy taste. A touch of weird phenols (after a couple of sips no more sensible) Minimal sourness along. Light to medium bitterness becomes felt near ending and grows stronger at aftertaste. Well rounded mouthfeel. Very drinkable. Decent

50cl from Rimi Hypermarket in Jelgava. Pours clear dark mahogany with a modest, beige head. Malty and bready aroma with caramel, dark fruits and some slightly earthy notes. Sweet and kvass-like with not much bitterness to offer. Fairly drinkable, but way to sweet for my taste.

Bottle @ hotelroom, Liepaja, Latvia. Pours dark amber with a offwhite head. Aroma of malt, light caramel, wet wood, berries, light tartness. Flavor is light sweet, light tart, malt, caramel, ryebread, wet wood, oak, berries, redwine notes. Medium body, soft carbonation, light acidic finish. Dunno if intended, but this reminds me of a thin Belgian sour red/brown. Not bad. 141015

50cl bottle (4,5%) from Rimi, Riga. Pours clear golden with a small, white head. Grainy aroma with some unpleasant notes of rotten fruits and hints of cooked vegetables, grass and yeast. Medium sweet with some unpleasant flavours and a rather mild bitterness. Mostly like a bad industrial lager, hardly a beer I would want to drink again.
