Pale golden color, small white head. The aroma of malt and grass. Taste malty sweet, and somewhat refreshing. Nothing remarkable, another mediocre lager.

500 ml bottle from Riga

Pours pale yellow and full with medium carbonation bubbles that dissappear quite soon, small head, but it dissipates soon. Aroma is very strong grassy hops with malt background.

Taste is bittery bite enhanced by carbonation, hints of subtle citrus and light malty background with lemony bitter aftertaste. After some half glass starts to feel a bit watery. Mouthfeel is light with more than average carbonation.

Overall, quite refreshing beer, but is way too light and lacks character.
