Lahev (750ml, pozdráv do Neratovíc!): Golden, hazy, lively carbonation, smaller stable off-white head, mild traces of wood-fire in the sweetish- fruity and ( wheat-) malty nose, presumably with a very delicate acidity underneath; moderate bitter-sweet flavour, with a delicate acidity as well, medium-bodied, soft; sweet-sourish fruity finish with a very mild smoky tail. Klobouk dolů! Příjemné překvapení...

Bottle 0.75l, a bit aged. Lightly cloudy, gold amber colored. AROMA- lightly smoky, fermented plums and apricots, sour fruity, wheat, vanilla, flowery, wood. FLAVOR- slightly sweet, lightly sour, lightly bitter, touch of alcohol, nice fresh wood tones, plum, apricot, herbs. Medium bodied. Well balanced, interesting and very tasty.

(bottle 0,75l from Pivní Mozaika Opava) Overall: Ok smoked weizen. Not much plum or wood. Tries to be complex but is quite light and just smoke&wheat. (But keep brewing, I like your twist ideas.) Aroma: Smoked, wheat, banana. Appearance: Hazy golden. Medium, white head. Taste: Smoked, wheat malt, banana, light fruity (maybe plum?), light sour(ish), light sweet. Palate: Medium body. Light dry finish.

Rerate: Tap at Pražský festival piva. Hazy ochre-yellow body, white head. Interesting mix of appley esters and smokey notes in the taste, only light phenols. Tart taste because of the plums, which bring light tastes too, some mild smokey notes, sweetish and tart. Far, far better in this iteration - guess it was a bad keg at Beergeek - while we couldn't finish a single small glass of this there, this was quite okay. How a single beer can vary... Original rating: 8th November, tap at Beergeek. Wow, a very daring, experimental beer from a fairly new, fairly unknown outfit! Always glad to try beers like this! Murky ochre body, tiny head. And... oh damn... the aroma... phenolic smoke, leather, odd esters, unpleasant yet pungent. The taste is, as they advertise, surprisingly drinkable and lean initially, but that's not to say that it's particularly enchanting. Quite empty, lean and tart, with the tartness growing, some plum, very very light green apple. Lacks all the basic aspects of a weizenbock (5.9% on 15°?, no WB body, no well developed esters and phenols in the taste - and the ones in the aroma are just odd). I wish I could rate this more than I do, but this, an interesting twist on one of my favorite styles, was a beer that we struggled to finish. I hope they grow and get better at this! 3/3/6/3/11
