Smell of malt, faint caramel. Copper colour, beige head. Aroma of mämmi, caramel malt, brown sugar. Lively carbon.

Bottle from Deya shop, Burton on Trent This is a common Latvian beer which I seem to have managed to avoid rating before. Has an aroma of burnt toast with nuts and malt. Pours a dark reddish copper with frothy (very) transient cream head. The taste is bready as well, with dark fruits and cherries plus some hints of nuts. A bit watery with low carbonation, but sweet underneath, and surprisingly some alcoholic strength in the finish. I don’t remember it being as nice as this previously !

Õlle on selline jook, et iga uus kord kui klaasi või pudeli suule tõstad, siis leiad midagi uut, sõltuvalt tuhandest-miljonist pisiasjast, mis hetke olukorda mõjutavad. Seega piirdun iga õlle juures selle tekstiga.

Flaska från Lettland. Mörk kastanjebrun. Sött, russin, maltsötma, råg, sött rågbröd.

Bottle from Deya Shop, Burton-on-Trent - though I have in the past drunk it many a time on tap in Latvia. Pours a pale orange with a good white head, which quickly dissipates. The nose is a standard malt / corn aroma. In the mouth there are hops and an orange fruitiness, with pretty strong carbonation. A bitter hoppy finish to round things of. Just a bog standard lager, but pleasant.
