6.9/10 Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 8 Texture 8 Overall 6.5
Bottle ordered from Craft Beer Station, Northampton – drank (shared) at Latvian Independence Day celebration at Ebenezers, Crewe. Pours a cloudy golden amber with a small off-white head. There’s a herbal aroma to this one along the mustiness graininess of rye malt. Rye malt to the fore again in the mouth, alongside herbs and spices plus hints of hops and ginger. Spiciness lasts into the finish. This is decent enough but maybe a little too spicy for me.

Can ordered from Craft Beer Station, Northampton – drank (shared) at Latvian Independence Day celebration at Ebenezers, Crewe. Pours golden amber with a small off-white head and good lacing. The aroma has plentiful hops, both traditional and continental, plus some hints of straw. In the mouth it strongly bitter with pine and hops to the fore, plus oranges and some traces of ginger. Later comes some citrus and hints of tropical fruits. This is a decent IPA.

Bottle ordered from Craft Beer Station, Northampton – drank (shared) at Latvian Independence Day celebration at Ebenezers, Crewe. Pours a very dark reddish-brown with a medium sized cream head and good lacing. There’s roast malts and cola in the aroma plus hints of chocolate and caramel. In the mouth it is slightly sweet with chocolate more in evidence alongside the roasted malts with hints of nuts and pats. This is a decent porter.

Bottle ordered from Craft Beer Station, Northampton – drank (shared) at Latvian Independence Day celebration at Ebenezers, Crewe. Pours a hazy deep chestnut with minimal off-white head. Not much of an aroma – merely some general maltiness. Malts a bit more pronounced in the mouth, where there are also some hints of traditional hops and underlying caramel. Finish is slightly fruity. A reasonable approximation of an English bitter.
