Description
The brewery was established by baron František Ringhoffer in 1874. Since the very beginning the brewery has always had a live mascot, a goat behind its fence. The current goat is named Olda and he is actually on the brewery’s employee list.

In March 1999, the merger of Plzeňský Prazdroj, as with Pivovar Radegast, as the former majority owner of the Velké Popovice brewery, took place. Since 2016 it is part of the Asahi Group.

Velkopopovicky Kozel is the most successful Czech export beer according to the sales and is sold in more than 50 European countries and beyond.

33cl bottle at the train station of Bari, Italy. Pours golden, fairly transparent, with a nice head of fine white foam. Aroma is cereal, some honey too. Body and carbonation are average. Taste is rather bitter for a lager, even a little unbalanced, I'd say. Final is still fairly bitter, though not that long.

0,5 flaske (bb 240323) fra Petros kjøleskap, delt med ham hjemme hos meg: lett uklar gylden med skum. Lett floral aroma og smak med urter, lett besk citrus, lynghonning og fin bitterhet i avslutningen.

500ml can. Pours a clear brown with red hue and a medium, foamy, short lived, beige head that laces. Mild aroma of bready caramel malt and nuts. Sweet flavour of toasted bready malt, caramel, brown sugar, raisin and nuts in a dry, mild bitter finish. Light body with a watery texture and soft carbonation. Crushable and surprisingly flavourful despite the low ABV.

500 ml bottle from Melbourne Beach Market. Pours a clear gold color with a white head and excellent retention. Almost no lacing. Standard pale lager aroma with a slight skunky edge. The taste follows the nose: Soft Euro pale malt flavor with some minor sulfur notes in the finish. No pilsner characteristics. Decent Euro lager that's slightly better/less skunky than average. Medium body. Medium-light carbonation. Not bitter.

Poured from 500mL can (bb 13.02.24). Dark amber brown with small light beige head. Caramel malt, feint toasted character, a bit thin, overall inoffensive.

Õlle on selline jook, et iga uus kord kui klaasi või pudeli suule tõstad, siis leiad midagi uut, sõltuvalt tuhandest-miljonist pisiasjast, mis hetke olukorda mõjutavad. Seega piirdun iga õlle juures selle tekstiga.
