Big 4$ green 0.5L bottle from total wine, St. Pete. Pour is somewhat cloudy light brown orange brew. Nose is a interestingly fresh but has an alarming odd cleaning fluid aroma. First taste? Stronger boozy personality with some bitterness component along with the toasted malt, caramel, and nuts. Not real civilized, considering this is only 6%. The photo here, which is clear pale in a green bottle, is a little misleading. Its got a darker cloudy appearance in my sample. Considering the czech guys are the right hand border to germany, this isn't too bad, but certainly does have some of that baltic attitude. From the end of the 19th century, this stuff is stoic, resilient and unflappable. It follows up by possessing a vigilant surrealent Russo-realism. On the finish its quite impressive providing an unconscious mind to express itself, often resulting in the depiction of illogical or dreamlike scenes and ideas. Decent co2 from the start. There you have it. In the end, it does what its supposed to do.

500 ml bottle from Total Wine. Pours a clear orange-amber color with a thick off-white head and great retention. Very good lacing. Light caramel malt and sulfur aroma. Same light caramel and light sulfur flavors too. Okay, but underwhelming. Needs more flavor and carbonation, and less sulfur. Medium body. Semi-slick mouthfeel. Under carbonated. Not bitter.

Bottle from albert supermarket in Kromeritz. Piana spora i trwala, zlociste klarowne jak na slodkawy styl heller bock to przyjemnie zateckim czuc. Nic dziwnego bo piwo zdobylo tytul world beer awards w 2019 i chyba tez zasługa glebinowej wody wydobywanej z 274 m. wciaz ta moravska trwala jakość i zawstydza niektore kozlaki niemieckie.
