Tap at Černá ruka. Here I was 300% certain I'd had it before but apparently either not or this will be a merge and a rerate of sorts. Clear golden body, white head. Light grainy, dry, honeyish aroma, bit herbal. Lean dry taste, rice cracker maltiness, leaning on corn bread, maybe DMS, herbal hoppiness, smooth enough, some bitterness. These guys can do better I reckon. As I type this, nah, deffo DMS here and they can even more definitely do better.

Tap at Galerie piva. Rather thin body, med-low carbonation, feels a bit old. Moderate cucumber presence, which is nice, I like this kind of thing. Also much appreciation for the fact that they did not make it a sour. The base beer feels a bit old overall though, a bit honeyish. Otherwise mostly clean, drinkable. Good one.

Tap at Brustok 2025. Almost clear yellow-golden body, off-white head. Mango dominates the fruity aroma, bit sugary, tea touches, hm. Lean, light, dry tart taste, vague mango, vague vegetal and phenolic touches. Huh... Unsure.

Tap at Brustok 2025. Hazy golden body, off-white head. Lime, coconut and light oaty, grainy touches in the remarkably pungent aroma. Soft taste, again combining the lime & coconut one-two hoppy punch with a clean, soft, oaty base. Sure, it's a bit lighter bodied, sure, but the hoppy profile beat nearly all "full strength" IPAs at the festival and that's remarkable. Michal Roud is a fantastic homebrewer, whose lagers I respected a lot, but this actually surprised me, from both them and Záhora. Great job guys!

0.33l fliptop, huge thank to Michal at Galerie piva for sharing it out to Gurthnar, Arnaud, Christos and me! Very dark, blackish brown body, off-white head. Lavender and basil alternate in the huge, sharp jammy aroma. Lean, dry, lightly sour taste, with the herbs creating a cola-like taste, soft, bit too dried out, very weird, but unique really. I kinda dug it, but I see why some didn't!

Tap at Pivni galerie. Very classic feeling, very well made, clean. Med-thin body, medium carbonation. Solid bready malty base. Lots of Saaz character. Med-high bitterness, light sweetness, dry. Very easy drinking, very good.
