Paul Todd: Weirdly the comment seems to be clipped? Sposed to say 'not a beer'

Paul Todd is drinking a Smilšu Tornis by Iļģuciema - Ilgezeem at Daugavgrīva
Almost kvass-like. Very bready on the nose. Lots of rye flavour. Sweet. Head dies immediately

Paul Todd is drinking a Kviezimodo by Trimpus at Daugavgrīva
Not getting on particularly well with this - it is slightly phenolic and there is a bit of a banana-estery vibe, but it's quite grainy and mineral. Even slightly salty.

Paul Todd is drinking a Bišumuiža by Iļģuciema - Ilgezeem at Daugavgrīva
Sweet, kind bready and yeasty. Bit honey-syrupy

Paul Todd is drinking an Iļģuciema Ekstra / Tanheiser Extra by Iļģuciema - Ilgezeem at Daugavgrīva
Changed since I last had it (almost six years ago!) from a kind of amber/Vienna into this cleaner Dortmunder-style. Pretty well-made and to style. Faintly metallic perhaps

Paul Todd is drinking a Cherry x Red Currant x Mango Smoothie Sour Ale by Ārpus Brewing Co. at Daugavgrīva
Very good again. All elements are notable. Favoured by Marina, so once more is essentially not a beer

Paul Todd is drinking a Ārpus x Elmeleven Mango x Passionfruit x Pineapple X Coconut x Vanilla x Maple Smoothie Sour Ale by Ārpus Brewing Co. at Daugavgrīva
Another v silly one. This was universally acknowledged as сок but it is absolutely delicious. The maple is fairly subtle and all other elements balanced with little burn

Paul Todd: The front label gives a different ABV to the rear. The cap gives a different founding date to the labels. Lovely stuff
Paul Todd is drinking a Vecais Gaišais Alus by Užavas Alus at Daugavgrīva
A second with a lunch of mainly cheese and cake

Paul Todd is drinking a Vecais Gaišais Alus by Užavas Alus at Daugavgrīva
First time having the unfiltered version. But more body and yeast character - more present maltiness too. Way less diac than the last unfiltered bottles I had (but v possible that's been resolved in those by now)

Paul Todd is drinking an Amarillo x Centennial x Simcoe West Coast DIPA by Ārpus Brewing Co. at Daugavgrīva
Lol this is underrated. Clean and clear to sight; it's dank, bitter, intense, somewhat pungent and herbal but not boozy. Quality WCer that expresses its choice hops well

Paul Todd is drinking a Brālis Gaišais Nefiltrēts by Brālis at Daugavgrīva
Another of these bottles ruthlessly forced upon me :( think this was bought in preparation for a BBQ that the rain deterred
Bottle
Paul Todd is drinking a Jaffa Cake by Nurme at Daugavgrīva
Think at one point this was the highest rated Latvian beer so naturally it was strongly coveted by me, and never available (including at their bar). However it is around now! It's actually a relatively trad impy; prominent roast and umami. Subtle adjuncts

Paul Todd is drinking a Simple IPA by ABi at Daugavgrīva
Does what it says on the tin, pretty westily. Clean and well made. Good to get a can in from this resurgent brewery; think it might be the first on their own kit?

Paul Todd is drinking a DDH Citra x Vic Secret x Galaxy Session IPA by Ārpus Brewing Co. at Daugavgrīva
Pretty good. Hint of soap but delivers a pretty decent IPA experience for 5%

Pleasantly aromatic and with little burn. Not too sickly also, if light in body for a 7% lactose IPA
