Backlog from RB. Mild malts, mild hops, faint bitterness, no aroma. Messy.

500ml bottle shared by Martinsh at the Latvia Day Tasting in Crewe on 18th November 2023. Misty amber/gold body, wispy head. Strange boozy brew, a real mixture of styles, aromas and tastes. Caramel sweetness, spiced with God knows what and then there's the Rye in the beer to add another dimension. Not unpleasant, just all a bit too much of everything (maybe).

440ml can shared by Martinsh at the Latvia Day Tasting in Crewe on 18th November 2023. A West Coast IPA no less! Deep golden body, light haze to the look; off-white head. Hops to the fore, both resinous pine and tropical citrus esters/flavours. Low malt presence, but a decent IPA in my eyes.

500ml bottle shared by Martinsh at the Latvia Day Tasting in Crewe, on 18th November 2023. Dark brown with a red hue to the body, on top a soft beige head. Malty with chocolate and caramel to the fore, calms down mid-sip and a hop bitterness joins the proceedings. Decent.

500ml bottle shared by Martinsh at the Latvia Day Tasting in Crewe on 18th November 2023. Didn't expect an English style 'Best Bitter' today. This was really interesting and I enjoyed it. Slight haze to the light mahogany body, wisp for a head. Malty front with a caramel sweetness tempered with a subtle hop bitterness, nice.
