The name means "from Riga" and was a common brand name during the Soviet era. Perhaps the recipe originated there. The Patra version comes in a standard brown half liter bottle with an interesting label including a sketch of a medieval town (Riga, perhaps?) and the slogan "the taste of good traditions". Ingredients conform to the purity law. Best before 4/25/04, I opened it on 2/21/04.
Pours clear gold under a three finger (OK, I gave it a fairly hard pour) white head that settles pretty quickly and leaves no lace. The nose is very mild, with just a touch of malt. The mouth is prickly and light. The malt opening is crisp but mild, while the finish is sadly watery. Just the slightest hint of hops emerge in the aftertaste. This is not unpleasant, but it is pretty weak.
