About
The first real malting statute was confirmed by the municipal council of Iglau, as the town of Jihlava was called till 1948, in 1579. In 1859, all 123 owners of brewing rights in the town and surrounding villages joined in a new brewery, the present Jihlava Brewery. The brewery in Jihlava was opened in 1861, but the brewery considers the year 1860 as the year of its incorporation. From its incorporation the brewery had mainly German owners. After WWII it was nationalised and then privatised in 1995. In 2008 the almost bankrupt brewery was bought by the Pivovary Lobkowicz group. Under the new owners the brewery returned to the production of beer according to old original recipes.

0.5 l bottle, as Zacharias 14, with 6% ABV. It poured dark golden body with dense medium sized yellowish head. Nice, malty aroma, somewhat alcoholic. Flavor is bitter, although biscuit malty, but bitterness may come from combining with alcohol, which is felt too much for what it is. Medium bodied. Finish is longer, slightly bitter with alcohol being felt of course. Boring beer, but nothing too bad, except that alcohol punch which gives you a feeling you’re drinking something at 8-9%.

Tap @ Zly Casy, Prague. Pours amber with a creamy stable white head and lacings. Nose and taste is malty. Sweet caramel, grain and a bit of alcohol. Chewy malty and medium bodied. The alcohol is a bit up front. But a fine E.S.L

Bottle. Golden color. Citrus aroma, buttery and flowery. Malty sweet citric cookie dough flavor with some flowery hops shimmering through. Pineapple. Just a bit vinous. Grassy hops and butter in the aftertaste. Sticky mouthfeel, but quite nice.

Bottled 500ml. -Dark golden/orange coloured, small to medium white head, almost no nose, just some hint of dust. Sweet malty, weak hoppy and herbal with too strong alcohol presence. Dry bitterish finish. Not so good as Comenius. 6.0%

Bottle at the Beershop tent at the Rujanfest in Zagreb, shared with ogivlado (thanks!) Poured a nice dark golden body with a small thick white head that went away at a medium pace. Sweet malty nose with some soft yet acidic herbal notes. Light sweet malty taste, some light oily alcohol, very very light hop in the background leaving some herbal bitterness, going a bit into the aftertaste too. Some lemony notes. Light dusty yeastiness. Light, soapy, and despite all these descriptors a bit boring.
