Aldaris Zelta

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

my first latvian beer, went on to smash back a lot of these in a short space of time. fresh, no aftertaste, easy to drink.

bottle - Pours pale yellow with a thin head. It smells of light malts and a trace of hops. It’s not completely watery and has some mild hops in the mild malt and adjunct taste. The finish is fairly dry. It’s not too good, but I’ve had much worse and actually expected worse.

More country whoring. 500ml bottle, clear bright yellow with white head, typical performance, builds a bit then settles quickly. Nose is typical, taste is typical, it’s a little bit of a malt liquor fuesal smell and taste, lightly sweet and moderately sharp or bitter. I mean c’mon it’s really the same as almost every other international generic lager.

Brown bottle, 500 ml, bottled on 15.12.06, savoured on April 13 2007; eye: straw, white head that disappears almost immediately but leaves a ring around the glass, clear, slight effervescence, lacing; nose: malt, corn, adjunct; mouth: corn, a bit of soap, finale in corn that is eventually covered by malt and then hops, thin, slightly creamy and grainy texture, lightly sweet, mildlby bitter, medium body, quite carbonated; overall: so FRANÇAIS Bouteille brune, 500 ml, embouteillée le 15.12.06, savourée le 13 avril 2007; œil : paille, petite mousse blanche qui disparaît assez rapidement et laisse un petit anneau autour du verre, claire, très légère effervescence, dentelle; nez : malt, maïs, additif; bouche : malt, un peu de savon, finale en maïs éventuellement recouvert de malt puis de houblon, mince, texture granuleuse et légèrement crémeuse, légèrement sucrée, moyennement amère, corps moyen, assez carbonatée; en résumé : bof!

Another strange brew.Aromas of malt and grapefruit.Pours a beautiful hazy golden color.Now the bad news.Nothing exciting here.Clean, crisp and malty.The finish has a small bitter bite but doesn’t linger for long.

500ml bottle. golden colour with a thin quick dissapearing head. malty aroma. taste pretty much the same. definately drinkable but nothing special

Bottle: Pours a dirty blonde/yellow color with a small white head that disapeared quick. Nose is musty malt and grain, taste is pretty much the same. A little doughy.

500mL bottle. I’ll be honest, the only reason I drank this bottle is for the country rating. golden yellow, paper thin white head. aroma of malts. flavor of sweet corn. finish of medicine. light bodied. A premium Lager...
