Light, refreshing beer. It was created by Adam Matuška, and since he used to play baseball, he used a baseball term – fast and straight type of pitch. Fastball has a great drinkability and has a refreshing aroma. It quenches your thirst, refreshes and leaves you in a good condition so you stay ready to pitch a Fastball.

Bottle from Pezinská pivná pumpa. This doesn’t really work with me. It’s very light bodied APA. Meh.

Clear yellow with medium white head. Aroma is wheat herbs straw slight grapes and honey malt. Taste is fresh sour grapes with herbal bitterness and slight fruity sweetness. Quite full bodied for the abv. A bit spiky herbal tartness. Flat watery finish. Expected more from Matuska.

Tasting at Višnja 666’s place. Shared with Goran, Višnja and Marko. Thanks Višnja for bringing this from Prague! Big bottle. Clear light golden, small off-white head. Elderberry, floral and citrus aromas. Light dry with light bitter finish. Light body, medium carbonation, watery texture, light finish. Nice aroma, a little to carbonated. Should be an American Session Pale Ale, otherwise it is to light and in any case it lacks character.

Thanks Višnja & Goran! Shared with Hrabren and them. Pale yellow-golden body with a small white head. Elderflower aroma, herbal, light dry maltiness, not bad but a bit subdued. Citric herbal notes in the taste, medium herbal bitterness, light elder again. Overcarbonated yet again, but generally a good beer, it’s exactly what it says it is, a 9° APA. And likely the best 9° beer ever made in ČR.
