In Baltic mythology, fate is determined by three goddess sisters, the Laimas.

The golden color, sessionable maltiness, subtle hint of nobel hops and crisp dry finish make it the perfect warm weather partner.

This beer pours a brilliant gold color with a lingering white head. The aroma greets you with a light, perfumy hop character, followed by a light, bready maltiness and fresh pear. The flavor is a near-perfect balance between the perfumy hops, pear esters and soft, bready malt. A moderately low hop bitterness emerges mid-palate and lingers through a light residual sweetness and into a medium-dry finish. A very light and appropriate yeast-derived sulfur character appears as it warms and helps accentuate the dryness. Laimas is a well-crafted and balanced beer that should be enjoyed during the warmer months.
