A few from Eastern Europe or Russia

I found a nice little shop in Ripon, North Yorkshire, with a few Eastern European beers for sale, well I bought a few and here are the results.

Aldaris, Gaišais from Latvia

 

5.0% gold colour with a thin head, malt aroma, slightly sweet taste but not bad.

Aldaris, Zelta from Latvia

 

5.2% golden colour with head that diminishes very quickly, slight sweet malt aroma, sweet malt taste, not good at all.

Heineken Slovensko, Zlatý Bažant from Slovak Republic

5.0% pale yellow in colour with no head at all, it had a sweet malt aroma and a quite nice dry taste.

Cesu Alus, Cēsu Premium from Latvia

5.2% gold in colour with a good head, some malt in the aroma and taste, doesn't sound good but it was better than most lagers sold in the UK.

Cmapblu Menbhuk Mrukoe from Russia

 

4.3% gold in colour with a thin head, malt aroma with a mild but fizzy taste.

Zhigulevskoye, Helles Schankbier from Russia

 

4.0% gold colour with a thin head, malt aroma, good taste not too fizzy quite a smooth beer.

Svyturys, Ekstra from Lithuania

 

5.2% another beer that I thought this was going to be one of my "beer I would not buy again" photos but again I was wrong, it had plenty of taste but I will not rush out to buy another one.
