W tym przypadku mamy dobra jakosc piwa bezalkoholowego, kolejny kolor kapsla z rogatym kozlem do kolekcji --- Beer aliased from original tick of Kozel Non-Alcoholic on 06 Apr 2023 at 19:26 - Score: Appearance - 6 | Aroma - 4 | Flavor - 7 | Texture - 4 | Overall - 5.

Barwa bursztynowa, ciemna, karmelowe, nieco korzenne, nawet chmielne, dobre piwo bezalkoholowe bez zadnych dodatkow, smakuje bardziej jak polotmave.
Too sweet

0,5 l bottle. Clear dark golden in the glass, small one finger white head. Caramel and nuts on the nose. Taste has some caramel, malt, increasing mid bitter hop. Some czech diacetyl. Low toasted nuts. Expected a little bit more deepness.

0,5 l bottle. A darkest red brown in the glass, one finger pale beige head. Sweet malty aroma, some hop in the background. Taste starts toasted malty, sweet Blockmalz, increasing dry due to the bitterhop. Little bit bready. Below average carbonated. Pleasant stuff.

I got a 500 ml can at Albert supermarket near the Hilton in Prague. Lifting the cap and tilting into a room drinking glass, pretty classy, huh? Bright gold body, fluffy head of absolutely white foam and plentiful carbonation. It smells like Pilsners usually do. The taste is also mostly standard in the style. Light malt, grain, perhaps some hops. More bitter than sweet but much of either. At dinner last night a 50 cl glass of Kozel cost less than my wife’s 33 cl bottle of Coke Zero. Culture adjustment I guess.

Can Rather generic non-alcoholic beverage. Malty, not really hoppy. Okay though

500 ml bottle, as Velkopopovický Kozel 0,0%, from EkoMarket, Bryne. Deep copper colour, small white head. Aroma of malts, grain and wort, hints of baby porridge, over-cooked vegetables, brown bread and caramel. Malty flavour, not too sweet, some fruitiness, notes of brown bread, a hint of caramel, very moderate hops. Could have been worse. --- Beer merged from original tick of Velkopopovický Kozel 0,0% on 31 May 2024 at 16:03 - Score: Appearance - 8 | Aroma - 2 | Flavor - 4 | Texture - 4 | Overall - 3.
