750ml bottle. Opalescent, amber colour with average to huge, frothy, osteoporosing, minimally lacing, off-white head. Minimally spicy, mellow, caramel malty minimally grassy hoppy and yeasty fruity aroma, notes of caramel, some dark honey, whiffs of cherry. Taste is sweet-ish and minimally spicy, caramel malty, mildly bitter, slightly grassy and minimally fruity hoppy with a mineral touch, minimally diluted hints of caramel, dark honey, a weak touch of cherry; lingering, slightly dry, minimally mineral (but in no way chalky) finish.
Oily-watery texture, smooth and soft, simultaneously minimally dry palate, medium to fine, mildly prickly carbonation.
Clean, balanced, nice cherry touch - OK.

Described on the label as a "polotmavý ležiak viedenského typu". The line between vienna and polotmavy is very thin of course, but from both brewery description and taste i think it fits more as a vienna.
Pours on the dark side of amber, some haziness. Medium sized, pillowy head, the slightest off white head, shows quite good retention and moderate lacing. Sweetish, not super clear/defined aroma, with caramel and biscuity malts taking the main stage, lighter honey notes, a general soft, crumb of bread like feeling, perhaps with a hint of butter/diacetyl, but really minimum. Taste feels a little more defined, with a light hint of herbal hops to add a touch of freshness, especially in the finish. Still a sweetish beer, but in a moderate/delicate way; definitely pleasant in the overall balance. Nice mouthfeel: quite light bodied, low to medium, delicate carbonation; Pleasantly smooth with a bit of softness. A pretty nice one on the whole.

Bottle via Beermalade tasting. Moderate body, med-high carbonation. Fully malty, but with low sweetness, med-high bitterness (overall keeping bitter in balance), light grainy astringency. Bready toasted grainy maltiness. Light caramel. I do not get any hops character, but do not miss it either. Easy drinking, good.
