Bottle. Cloudy yellow beer with big white head. Strong coriander, citrus zest, grains on nose. Light body. The taste echoes the aroma. No wheat malts to be detected. Drinkable. I suspect this is just a pale lager with artificial flavours added.

500ml bottle. Pours clear gold with a minimal white head. Aroma is slightly phenolic, malt. Taste is plain - slightly sweet, pale malts, lemon. Doesn’t feel very Czech to me.

500ml bottle. To be honest, I was a bit suspicious of this pale lager brewery suddenly releasing an IPA, an APA, a stout and an English strong ale. The description to this one starts like this "This beer lets you understand what a truly bitter beer is..." So, they’ve set the bar pretty high. Pours clear gold with a small white head that is gone in seconds. Aroma is very lagery, yeast, perhaps some fruit. It smells nothing like an IPA. Taste is sweet and malty with citrus notes. Bitterness is close to zero. An IPA in name alone. In reality this is a strong pale lager with the booze masked pretty well. If you want a proper IPA, look elsewhere.

500ml bottle. Pours gold with a fine white head. Aroma is grain and hay, very reminiscent of cheap zhigulevskoye beers. Taste is slightly sweet and grainy, white bread, bitterness is almost non-existent. Mediocre pale larger packaged to look fancy.

500ml bottle with a fancier design and different label. Pours gold with a small white head. Aroma is fruity and grainy. Taste is sweet and bready. No finish. Meh.

500ml bottle. Pours dark brown/red coke colour with a small beige head. Aroma is roasted malts. Taste is sweet and malty, with an astringent finish. Couldn’t detect any hops. Reminds me of an ordinary Russian tmavy.

500ml bottle. Label says that it is brewed under licence of Demidovskaya Pivovarvnya, which makes this a contract beer? Pours gold with a medium-sized off-white head. Unexpected fruity hop aroma as well as caramel. Taste is the same. Dry finish. Maybe not a Vienna lager.
