Zelta Premium

Country of Origin: Latvia
Brewed by: Aldaris
Brewed in: Riga, Latvia

Drank in Monika Hotel Lobby Bar in Riga, Latvia - 23rd February 2015

First taste of a Latvian Lager so mildly excited. 

Strong tasting golden beer with a mildly bitter aftertaste. Brewed in Riga by The Aldaris Brewery which is part of the ever growing Carlsberg Group, fortunately however it's kept its own flavour which is unique and very drinkable. 
It's 5.2% ABV is a bonus and helps it score a hefty 8.1 on the MWB Snifter Scale. 
Best drunk when served between 6-8°C...apparently. 




Commercial Description

"Zelta (Gold) beer is premium quality lager which has been renowned for its consistently high quality for years. This was underlined by the silver medal it won in 2005 in the face of stiff competition at the prestigious Australian International Beer Awards.
Zelta beer is characterised by a mild malt aroma and slightly bitter-sweet hoppy taste. It is a great companion for the enjoyment of quality leisure time with friends.
Zelta beer is offered in convenient, modern packaging and now its transparent bottle has an easy-to-open pull-off cork."
