Tap at the brewpub with Motelpogo and Mowbeer. Pitch black, off white head. Honeyish caramelly grainy aroma, nice and full. Honey-grainy maltiness, smooth, soft roasty notes. Very much tasty. Nice!

Bottle from Restaurace Solnice, shared with Ogi, Hrabren and Veceo. Hazy golden body, white head. Odd husky grainy aroma. Strange maltiness, light dogfood, but a nice grainy hoppy presenc, ending dry and bitterish. At the same time odd and nice. But by all means, not their best beer, at least not after the plastic bottle treatment. To be rerated I guess. Hazy gold whh Odd husky grainy Same dogfood ending dry bittrish odd maltiness 443453411

Huge thanks Marko for bringing this from CZ. Large plastic brown bottle. Shared with him, Ogi and Veceo. Aroma is light oxidation, corn, malts, grain, honey. Flavour is malty, dry, some bitterness. Light body, light malty finish, malty finish.

Tap at Restaurace Solnice. Misty golden body, whtie head. You get a lemon in it whether you like it or not, and it completely annihilates the original aroma, if pleasantly so. Light taste, very light vanilla and yeasty touches, along with the omnipresent lemon. Okay, lacking esters and phenols, but still fairly tasty.

Tap at Restuarace Solnice. Thanks Matija K.! Golden body, white head. Light herbal, even citric touches in the aroma, light maltiness. Whoo, by far the hoppiest of the bunch here, the nice herbal and citric notes giving it by far the most character among them, a true pilsner. The strong bitterness, however, coupled perhaps with a lacking body, makes it somewhat too astringent to enjoy fully, nice though the taste might be. Ah, a shame, close to true excellence.

Tap at Restaurace Solnice. Hazy golden body, white head. Unimpressive taste, light herbal touches, trace sulphur. Lean taste, generally clean, if not gully, light herbal and sweetish touches. The worst of the bunch, just boring.

Tap at Restaurant Solnice. Thanks Matija! Light hazy amber body with an off white head. Nice light aroma, if too subtle, herbal, light tangerine, light maltiness. Soft taste, empty, vague maltiness, very much subdued aromatics. But hey, quite drinkable and very much clean.

Tap at Restaurace Solnice. Murky golden body, white head. Light herbal, flowery aroma. Soft, light taste, clean, light maltiness, vague flowery and herbal touches. Damn smooth, the body is spot on on this one. Seems they've improved somewhat in the meantime, at least this one. It's nothing flashy (as expected in a town where Budvar is king), but spot on for what it should be.
