My father brought a couple of bottles of Latvian beer home from his trip to Riga. I have to admit I feel a bit sorry for the Latvians because this was a set of beers that will go to history as the worst I have ever tried. But hopefully we where just unlucky with what we got and the nicer beer where hidden from the pesky tourists 
We started with two beers from Livu:
Livu Originalais 5% (Might be linked to the wrong beer)
It poured a clear golden liquid with a small foam that left no lacing. It was odorless and had a very weak taste of malt and white bread. However it didn’t have any of the bad tastes that so many lagers have trouble with, namely metal and an acidic bitterness that reminds me of puke. It was actually half decent and the best Latvian beer we tried this evening.

It poured a pale yellow liquid with no foam or lacing. It smelled like pee and it wasn’t just me who sensed it. It tasted like water mixed with some pale bread. A horrible beer.
