Description
The more than 725-year-old beer tradition in Litovel dates back to 1291, when King Wenceslas II granted the city the mile right. This privilege allowed only the Litovel burghers to brew and tap beer within a radius of one medieval mile, i.e. in a vicinity of approximately seven kilometres. In the Middle Ages, beer was brewed in a brewing house, which was then located at Litovel 57. Those with brewing rights were among the most affluent people, and played a significant role in managing the city. Even contemporary Litovel beer is brewed using classic processes, the roots of which date back to this glorious historical era.

4,0% ABV. 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.

Tap at Smíchovské vidličky a nože as Sládkův Tip Svatomartinský Speciál 13, then repeated at U Věstonického Venouše, where I was told it was made at Litovel. Potentially the same as what used to be Zubr Svatomartinský Speciál 13,5%. Dark copper-brown aroma, creamy off-white head. Light aroma, creamy raisin and caramel, malty. Malty smooth taste, light creamy dried fruit, caramel, trace herbal, very vaguely metallic, but not bad, actually a decent drinkable caramelly malty lager!

Bottle shared in Krakow with wombat23 who, frankly, didn’t make much progress. Deep gold with a frothy, white head. Industrial aroma. Very faint honey. Taste is sweet with lingering grains and honey. Simple. Drinkable aside from the lousy aroma.

Tap. Rich golden color, clear, good white foam. Aroma: malty, candy, cookies, herbaceous hops. Clean taste, malt, cookies, spicy-herbaceous Czech hops, moderate bitterness, somehow very refined.

Bottle 50 cl. 4.7% on the label. Pours a clear, deep golden with a white head. Malty nose with spicy hops. Medium body, very light on the palate with a dry maltiness and a subdued bitterness. Yet so very Czech. 210923

Black with a fleeting head. Lemonade and caramel aroma with an artificial, pop-like twist. Citric sweet. Light-bodied. Not my thing as a beer, but proved moderately refreshing on a hot day, so points for that.
