Bottle at Labietis, Riga. Complex and woody, sourish and tart. No hops used. A bit herbal ofcourse with fruity notes. Tart sourish finish, not boozy but you feel the abv. Very nice.

From tap at Dock Bar, Münster. Aroma is spoiled milk with coriander and some salt. I have a soft spot for Labietis, but their experiments can be hit and miss.

Draught@TCBW2022. Slightly hazy amber colour with a small white head, which vanishes quickly. Aroma is honey, some sugary berryjuice sweetness with mild alcohol to it as well. Flavour is grandma's berry juice, some honey, alcohol and mild herbal and wooden tones too. --- Beer merged from original tick of Irbenīns (Viburnuwine) on 06 Apr 2024 at 18:34 - Score: Appearance - 6 | Aroma - 7 | Flavor - 7 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 7.
