Draught at the brewery, on nitro
Hazy red amber color with the classic nitro head. Moderately sweet, a bit of caramel, candi sugar. Probably it’s the nitro, but nothing else comes through. I find it difficult to drink such a numbed drink.
Abolish nitro!

Draught at the brewery
Hazy golden color, frothy head. Interesting aroma, a bit animal (must be the Mosaic), and rubber. Dry mouthfeel, light malt profile, strong bitterness, but it has a quite sharp metallic final. A bit yeasty.
Not bad, but another one that needs a tune up.

Cloudy orange-blond color, sparse head. Like the Czechmate Pilsner, this one as well is smooth, sweetish, dominated by the yeast, with Ale qualities, not clean, and with muffled hopping. Very light fruity esters.
Not a bad beer, but more is expected.

Cloudy light amber color, small head. In short this is a mild Pale Ale, correctly hopped, without exceptional malt flavor without outstanding hop character, but most of all seriously diacetyl loaded, mostly the buttery aroma.
Not totally undrinkable (I can stand diacetyl) but not properly prepared.

Hazy dark amber to brown color with creamy head. Mild caramel and yeast profile, low bitterness, rather dry but smooth. Touch of honey.
Simplistic Amber Ale.

Cloudy amber color with compact head. The aroma is full of yeast, vegetable, a bit chemical. It’s on the dry side, with a simple caramel and malt flavor, ordinary bitterness, less yeast than the aroma let me expect. Also metallic.
To be tuned.

Cloudy blond color, sparse head. Mild aroma, some grass, light manure light Ale esters. The flavor reminds an Ale, not a Lager, it’s surprisingly very yeasty, doesn’t disturb too much, but it covers the hop qualities, if there are. It’s a bit sweet, in the category.
Needs some filtering.

Golden color, clear, with generous head. Aroma of hop and yeast, feet. Smooth mouthfeel, a bit on the sweet side, the malt profile is simple, the bitterness is bold, but the yeast character wins over the hop quality.
Not a bad beer, but needs some tune up.

Mahogany color with compact head. Mild aroma of caramel with a trace of mint. A bit drier and weaker than expected, with dark caramel flavor, some yeast, and a minty trace in the final; ordinary bitterness, without notable hop quality.
Unrefined beer, to be tuned, but not bad.

Brown color with creamy beige head, a bit less than the usual nitro head. Light aroma of dark malts. Dry mouthfeel; mild flavor of chocolatey, dark, dusty malts, could fit the bill for some dry Mild Ale; very light fruity esters in the final add a bit of freshness. Correct bitterness.
Nice beer.
