Though it’s based on an English Pale Ale, we tried to create a summer beer that would combine an intense aroma and high drinkability, while keeping a full-body, ideal for warm summer evenings.
We use Galaxy, a hop charged by the Australian sun, that, together with Citra, give the beer its intense aroma of tropical fruit. For bitterness we used the Apollo hop.

Aroma of citrus, peach, grass, lemon peel, some grapefruit. Flavour is fruity and hoppy with a bitter finish. Matuška strikes again.

750ml bottle. Slightly cloudy, orange, bright golden colour with average to huge, frothy, very slowly osteoporosing, fairly lacing, white head. Herbal-grassy and slightly citrusy fruity, hoppy aroma, minimally grainy and spicy, pale malty background, hints of lemon balm, lemongrass, lemon, a touch of sorrel. Taste is mildly bitter, citrusy fruity and slightly herbal-grassy hoppy, minimally spicy, pale malty basis, notes of lemon, some grapefruit, hints of lemon balm, lemongrass, a touch of salty cracker. Minimally oily, watery texture, smooth and soft, simultaneously minimally dry palate, medium to fine, dense, prickly carbonation. Very clean, well balanced, excellent water, some Bohemian terroir due to the spicy malty aspects - outstanding APA.

Keg at Automat Matuška, Prague. Lovely hoppy APA in the taste but find the ending all a bit soapy. Strangely long bitterness.
