Aldaris Zelta

Brewed by Aldaris (Baltic Beverages Holding - Carlsberg)
Style: Pale Lager
Riga, Latvia

Bottle. Golden color with a laced white head. A bread malty aroma with a corn, grain, and slightly sweet malt flavor. Started to hurt my head by the end of the glass.

Tasted in Toronto. Obtained from lcbo. Tasted in dimple mug. Appearance is clear yellow, very light in colour. Light white head. Light aroma - corn, malt amd grain. Mass produced macro hints.... Taste is sweet with a nasty malt beverage finish. My day of tasting ’baltic’ lagers ends with a fiz.......

rough around the edges. grassy... lots of head... pale pale yellow in colour. Smooth like in the pilsner urquell. Grassy, a very good lager.

Very pale in colour with rather big lively head. Aroma is very weak. Flavor starts off sweet and ends in a dry hoppy finish.

Crisp pale yellow, respectable white head and some half decent lacing. Verys light bit of grassy/grainy hops in very muted aroma. Palate and flavour palate are very light, with just a slight bitterness. Boring but inoffensive and fairly quaffable.

Bottle. Light yellow pour, decent sized head. Syrup like body, but actually a little bit of a malt base there, which was surprising. Could not get much out of the aroma. Taste is standard bad imported Euro lager, insert tinny, corny, grassy adjective here. But I would rate this one slightly higher than most of my failed lcbo experiments, simply because there was a little more flavour in there. Deep down.

Clear pale gold. Soft, fluffy snow white head. Strong cooked corn stench. Thin, fizzy feel. Bland, sweet honey-ish malt flavour w/ notes of cooked corn & diesel fuel. Somewhat harsh mineral bitterness in finish.

Pours a clear straw colour with a big bubbly head. Malt aroma. Higher carbonation than most europeans. Sweetish malt flavour with mild and somehow strange hop bitterness.
