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.

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.
