look: straw coloured, totally see through, good levels of carbonation, one finger head with good retention, nice bit of lacing.
smell: light biscuity malts, some sweet malty smells there, some apple, pear, white grape, cranberry, all these flavours are quite light however, no real bitterness to report.
taste: man that is sweet at first, those cranberry flavours really come through in that, biscuity bready malts, some earthy flavours, little bit of bitterness on the finish, not a lot to report though.
feel: light mouthfeel, highly carbonated, crisp and refreshing, just fine,
overall: it’s a straightforward light refreshing pilsner, nothing to rant and rave about, but does its job, also the pint size can with the foil was neat.

568ml can (an Imperial pint) - the label says made in Latvia, which upon perusing their helpful English-language website, explains everything.
This beer pours a slightly hazy, pale golden yellow colour, with four fingers of puffy, rocky, and chunky dirty white head, which leaves some decent soap scum pattern lace around the glass as it lazily sinks away.
It smells of bready and crackery cereal malt, underripe lemon rind, some hard water flintiness, and tame earthy, floral, and grassy green hop bitters. The taste is gritty and grainy pale malt, mixed domestic citrus and pome fruity esters, faint petrol notes, wet stones, and more understated earthy, musty, and dead grassy noble hoppiness.
The carbonation is average in its palate-coating frothiness, the body a solid medium weight, and generally smooth, with a wee airy creaminess essentially there from the onset of things here. It finishes off-dry, the cereal malt and muddled Euro-hops playing nicely with each other on the way out.
Overall - this sort of approaches the style it aspires to be on this site, in that there are no obvious off-flavours, and the malt and hops do well to emulate the Teutonic way of things. Simple, and easy enough to drink, which is probably something I've never uttered about brews from this part of the world before. Probably.
