The purest and most challenging of our beers, Meditation is a blend of ales that have been barrel-aged for between one and three years. The older ales offer a dry, oak character while the younger ones reveal softer, sweeter tones. This is a real hallmark of our blending process as well as the wild creatures of the Mikulov area.

Tap at BeerGeek Bar. 7,2% ABV. Dry, fully fermented. Medium sourness, med-light tartness, background sweetness or bitterness. Lots of funk, interesting grassy, leafy, vinous, herbal, almost bay leafy character, in addition to classic sweaty horse. Light wood. Great balance of acids, but also of everything. Could use more bubbles and that is about it as far as my criticisms go. Excellent.

Short lived tinted head over copper, slightly veiled beer. Mild horseblanket, farmyard nose; vinous, winecasks. Sourish, even a bit aggressive compared to the nose; old wood, lactic acid, again some vinous touches (malonic?). Mild carbonation, quite wheatslick, long lasting flavours. Strangely enough (this IS a complex blend), it struck me as an excellent base for further blending. Děkuju, Jitka!

Tiefgoldgelb bis hellbernsteinfarben und glänzend trüb mit feiner Perlage. Die feinporige, gebrochen weiße, Schaumkrone ist dabei mäßig haltbar. In der Nase vernimmt man eine komplese Fruchtigkeit mit Noten von Stachelbeere, grüne Traube, Verjus, Holzfass zusammen mit einem sehr feinen, kräftigen Wildhefecharakter. Der Antrunk kommt frisch, spritzig, saftig-fruchtig bis fruchtig-säuerlich und leicht beerig. Es präsentiert sich ein Körper mit guter Fülle, fein moussierender Rezenz, samtiger Textur und guter Trockenheit. Auf Gaumen und Zunge zeigen sich frisch-fruchtige Noten von Stachelbeere, grüner Traube und grünem/frühreifem Steinobst. Es zeigen sich generell eine komplexe Säurestruktur, zarte Herbe und ein angenehmer Wildhefe- bzw. leichter Brett-Charakter. Letztendlich hat man ein tolles, vielschichtiges und überaus angenehmes Gesamtbild vor sich. Trotz der Komplexität wirkt dieses Bier nicht überladen und weist eine sehr gute Drinkability auf. Der Nachtrunk gestaltet sich langlebig mit einer fruchtig-säuerlichen Basis und aufkommender Herbe der Wildhefe.
Fazit: Einfach top! Das ist High Quality Fine Beer!

Bottled at the Raven Pub I reckon. Hazy golden-amber body. Funky, tart, oaky, bretty aroma. Sweetish-sourish taste, oak, herbal-bretty touches, okay balance between the body and the tartness. Pleasant enough, though I didn't dig the body - might not have had it at the right time. To rerate if I can.
