Aldaris Zelta

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

Found the 500ml can while picking something else up at Calgary Co-op. Gold beer. Had a big head before I turned away. Aroma is sweet, light icing sugar and grain? Sweet flavour. Slightly rough. Uneven. Sugar over vegetable.

Bottle from case and keg. pours a light yellow. White hea. Corn, corn corn and a tiny touch of hops. Flavor is very fizzy and malty. Tons of grain in the flavor...dman this wasnt that good.

Bottle, 500ml. Pours clear yellow, with short-living bubbly head. Hoppy aroma, with some citrus on the palate. Quite highly carbonated. Run of the mill.

Pale yellow with medium carbonation. The head has large disappearing bubbles. There is a fair amount of lemon in the aroma. I taste lots more lemon with some mild hints of honey.

Pours a typical clear straw-yellow, like a million other lagers. Aroma is typically lagerish, crisp and malty, but gets a half point for being fairly strong and not water. Flavor is a little better than most lagers I have tried - it is malty and has just a teensy hint of fruit and a trace of hops. Texture is smooth and fizzy, not at all watery. I am no fan of lagers, but this is better than most.

500ml bottle from the LCBO Pours a pale yellow small white head The aroma is sweet malts and hay The taste is sweet and spicy a pleasent surprise

500 ml bottle. From Latvia. Clear golden colour with thin head. Aroma is fruity and a bit spiced. Flavour is also fruity and a tiny hint of chocolate. A bit spiced. Palate is quite watery. Very good for a Baltic lager.

Pours golden with small white head. Aroma of sweet malt and some hops. Flavour is unbalanced with lemon coming through..leaves a fizzy carbonation on the palate. Strange unbalanced beer.
