On tap. Clear, orangey brown, off white head. Sweet roast and caramel, hardly any bitterness, light diacetyl, but absolutely drinkable.

On tap filled to bottle Smell - weak, some hops maybe, maybe citrus, hard to tell. Foam- thin, bit to watery side, some citrus adn bittersweet notes, tiny white head, maybe most went away when puring. Appearance- bit hazy yellow, orange, but more yellow piss color. Taste- bittwesweet, sourness as well, but very weak, some hops and citrus. Bittersweet notes kill it for me.

Bottle (thanks fatphil). Pours dark amber. Aroma is sweet, butter, caramel, malt. Flavor follows the nose. Overall: drinkable, but not a fan of diacetyl.

Draft glass @ Valmiermuiža Alus Tirgotava. Made with hot stones and added sugar, traditional. Great condition. Golden citrus soapy, sparkling. Nose is corn, sugar, cereal, honey sweet candy. Lots of sugar, sweet candy, bread, caramel, cereal, very sweet but also clear and tasty. Sweet and clean lager is an odd combo but I largely quite enjoyed it.

On tap at Alus Mui�a, pours a clear dark amber with a small beige head. Aroma brings out toasted chestnuts, toasted malt and light red fruits. Flavour is very sweet, with lots of sweet caramely bready malt and red berries. Way too sweet - not sure what the deal is here. It's not bad, but the sweetness isn't appealing.

On tap at Alus Mui�a, pours a hazy golden blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out straw and cereal malts. Flavour is very sweet, with cereal malts, sweet honey, and biscuity malt. Cheap and sweet. Not good.
