Flat, hazy, dull amber. No head. Looks like shit. Sugary aroma is caramelly, grahamcrackery in accent. Smells like a Soviet brew without the sewage. Very sweet flavour...more graham cracker, cheapo honey and caramel taste. Very little nuance...like the cheapest of the above you can find. Bland, unimpressive...too bad since the bottle and price make this a potential dark horse and it just doesn’t capitalize.

Honey golden, hazy color, not much head. Honey and yeast in the nose. Flat mouthfeel. Honey and butterscotch dominate the flavor. Almost mead-like brew.

Bottled. Golden colour, mediumsized white head. Very sweet sugary aroma. Sugary flavour, with also hops and malts. Sweet aftertaste. Fullbodied, and rather sweet beer, but indeed a very pleasant one.

Bottled at Delirium Cafe, Brussels, Belgium - Many thanks to Joris for sharing this one.
Clear orange body. Nose of perfume and some vinegar, but not ordinary vinegar, rather wine vinegar. Lightly sweet, moderately bitter initial flavour. Medium to fully bodied. Not really my type of beer.

Pale amber-orange, small amberish tinted head. Strange aroma, like "palm" leaf (Buxus Sempervirens). Quite sweet taste, perfumed, like sugared viola flowers or guimauves . Quite original taste, but so-oo-o sweet. Quite sticky, lots of restsugars. Medium bodied at best. One thing’s for sure. If this represents the Czech brewery future, say goodbye to the top quality hops like Zlatec...

An amber beer with a disappearing off-white head. The aroma is primarily of plastic and the flavor is sour with notes of plastic and caramel, leading to a dry end. I’m glad, that I didn’t have to drink a whole bottle of this.

Bottled. Clear amber. Yeasty and vinous. Firmly malty, yet cidery with notes of candy and brandy. Interesting and full of character, but also highly controversial.
