On tap at Labietis - Central Market, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma is definitely dominated by the catnip—hard to detect much else. Flavour is unpleasant: very abrasive and dominated by harsh catnip. No idea how anyone could appreciate this.

Can at Nisha Craft Capital, shared with Finn. Next to clear golden, naked surface, scattered lacing. Moderate honeyed malt-fruity aromas. Moments of honey and grain to the taste buds. Mid-sweet finish. Fair enough. (Vilnius, 11.11.2025)

250ml draught, shared with Finn at Alus Darbnīca Labietis. Upper part lacing from a fair white head, misty pale golden body. Quite promising aromas of ripe citrus and earthy malts. Blended taste profile of grapefruit, doughy fruit, and white bread. Bittersweet malt-fruity ending. Medium bodied. Quite alright. (Riga, 09.11.2025)

250ml draught, shared with Finn at Alus Darbnīca Labietis. Remaining off-white head over a coal black body, dotted spots on the glass. Prominent taste of herbal hops and mid-sweet chocolate malts. Malt-forward taste supported by herbal hops. Drying close, carefully roasted. Fine depth to it. Likeable (Riga, 09.11.2025).

250ml draught shared with Finn at Labietis Centraltirgus. Spotty lacing from covering beige head, clear amber body. Subdued mid-sweet earthy malts on the nose. Malt-forward taste of mild caramel malts and earth. Drying close, mid-sweet. Just okay. (Riga, 08.11.2025)
