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.

06.06.22 Aromatu brak, prawie nie czuć co tu mówić może trochę słód. Beżowa piana, ciemnobrązowe klarowne. Smak słodki w stopniu niskim, goryczki brak nawet ze słodów ciemnych a co dopiero z chmieli, bardzo słodowe Nagazowanie średnie, lekkie, orzeźwiające. Ogólnie pije się przyjemnie jest w stylu, takie delikatne piwko

19.05.22 Aromat słodowy pszeniczny, bananowy. Biała piana, obfita, zamglone, żółte. Smak lekko słodkie, lekko kwaśne, i nawet goryczka Nagazowanie duże, lekkie, orzeźwiające. Ogólnie jest nie źle jak na weizen, i da się wypić, trochę jednak puste

10.12.22 Aromat słodu tyle można powiedzieć. Biała piana klarowne, zlociste. Nagazowanie duże, ciało lekkie, orzeźwiające. Smak słodki średni. Goryczka niska, bardziej miodowe. Ogólnie zwykłe piwo, schłodzone może być.

500ml can from the LCBO.
Nice bready, hoppy, malty aroma. Flavour is crisp, and malty. Wow, this really is a decent pils. Nice stuff!

Solides, aber vielleicht ein wenig beliebiges böhmisches Lager. Malzig-getreidig, hintergründige aber schöne blumige Hopfenaromatik, deutliche Bitterkeit, schlank, trocken.

[as Velkopopovický Kozel Dark] Bottiglia. Il gusto al naso è indirizzato verso orzo tostato e caffè fatto con la moka. L'intensità olfattiva è elevata e l'esistenza olfattiva è sufficiente. Il cappello di schiuma color marrone chiaro è destinato a vita breve. La grandezza delle bollicine è a grana fine. La parte liquida offre una visione offuscata. Il colore è ambrato carico tendente rossiccio. Il corpo è rotondo. L'amaro è nella media. La forza gustativa è normale e la durata è sufficiente. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di facile beva. Il finale è semplice e dissetante. Il retrogusto è di media intensità. Il tetto della bocca riconosce impressioni di miele, amaretto, frutta secca, pane tostato ed erba.

Aroma of grains and straw. Flavour is grainy, no sweetness, with a light bitter finish. Standard, uninteresting Pilsner.
