From tap @ Krčma FUNUS in Bratislava as with Citra / Simcoe / Columbus hops yet probably 2021 version with Citra and Loral hops. Head is big, white, good retention. Colour is pale gold, almost clear. Aroma is light orange, citrus, floral, bit grassy. Taste is medium malty base, orange, grapefruit, bit tropical fruits, wheat touch, soft to medium carbonation, good balanced, easy drinkable, enjoyed.

150ml taster as Summer ale 12, draught at Prague Beer Museum. Decent white head, leaving spotty lacing on the glass. Clear (dark) golden body. Lemony hops on the nose, half dry. Succulent hopped fruity flavours of grapefruit and lemon. Smooth citrus bitterness to the finish. Rounded and refreshing. Nice summer feel, enjoyed in the beer garden of the pub (01.07.2016).

Tastes of grapefruit, peach, orange, some grass, some pine, biscuit.
Medium, oily mouthfeel, with a moderate carbonation.
Finishes bitter, medium dry, zesty, a bit dry, a bit yeasty, fruity, a bit malty.

Really nice. Very fruity, fresh and well balanced. Maybe a bit light bodied, but on the other hand drinks very easy. Really enjoyable Pale Ale.

This one has perfect foam, absolutely perfect, and a great body, like the hot women I saw around Prague (not the tourists, like seriously ghastly creatures I tells ya). Aroma is hops, flavour is fine hops and coriander with a lemony finish. This is a great light but strong summer brew, worth the effort to find.

Tap at RJ. Aroma rather simple, but charming. Hoppy, citrusy, zesty, orange. Lightly hazy golden colour, stable white head. Taste again hops centered, zesty grapefruity citruses. No obstructive malts standing in way of easy summer refreshment. Well made and perfectly serving the purpose.
