Review based on the BJCP2015 guidelines (style 18B - Session IPA). Bottle 33 cl - Batch unreadable (BBF unreadable). AROMA: medium-low oxidized hop aroma (dried grass, cheesy), some pine and a slight caramelized malt background. faint metallic note. APPERANCE: intense gold color and clear. medium moussy ivory head with good retention. TASTE: similar to the aroma with medium-low oxidized hops (cheesy), faint lychee-like note. background of a slight caramelized malt. medium-high to high bitterness with a dry and bitter finish that endures. PALATE: medium-light body with medium carbonation. OVERALL: a session IPA unfortunately already oxidized and excessively bitter for a session-type beer. demands re-tasting.

33cl Bottle from LIDL Braga. Clear brown colour, beige head. Aroma of roast, caramel, some iron. Flavour is soft, sweet, light malty, roast, some tocbacco, light metal. Light bodied, watery. Both these revived beers (Onyx, Topázio) are pointless.

(Re-rating - Previous 2.9) Review based on the BJCP2021 guidelines (style 3B). Bottle 33 cl - Batch L100231 by Praxis (BBF 07/2022). AROMA: medium malt aroma with a slight bready and honey character. very faint cereal husk note. very low herbaceous hop note. faint oxidation note (papery). APPEARANCE: gold color and clear. medium white head with good retention. TASTE: medium to medium-low malt flavor similar to the aroma (slight bready and honey-like). faint herbaceous hop note, pappery and cereal husk. medium-high bitterness with a dry and slightly bitter finish. PALATE: medium-low body with medium carbonation. slight astringency. OVERALL: a beer that resembles more a munich-helles type beer since hops are very faint and less malty-rich to be a czech premium pale lager.
