Jun ’14. A 0.5 l bottle kindly shared by the Slovakian RB crew, thanks! This one filled the glass with lightly hazy yellow brew with small head. Dry aroma of citrus and some herbal spicy hops. Not a generic, typical IPA nose. Lightly bitter flavor, grapefruit, herbs again with only a bit of biscuity and toasted malt sweetness. Rather thin and really watery which is a big drawback for my taste. Finished pleasantly and very rounded, as lightly bitter and sweetish malts. A summer refreshment, not bad although atypical and weak.

Jun ’14. A 1 l plastic bottle kindly shared by the Slovakian RB crew, thanks! It poured a clear dark red/brown body with medium sized ocher head. Coffee and somewhat buttery aroma. Lightly bitter coffee and herbal flavor with a bit of toasted malt sweetness, being more sweet towards the finish. Thin to medium bodied. Simple, a bit more roast dunkel, fine but a bit thin.

Jun ’14. A 1 l plastic bottle kindly shared by the Slovakian RB crew, thanks! It poured hazy yellow body with small compact head. Nice aroma typical for the style, showed some cloves, bubblegum, orange and touch of herbs. Promising nose turned into a fail with the flavor. It was quite sour, way too yeasty with some fine lemony and chalky notes. Medium bodied with long yeasty and orange finish. Rather simple. Quite bad for the style, although drinkable. Yeast kills it, I guess I got the most of it out of a bottle, but still...

Jun ’14. A 0.5 l bottle, thanks to Slovak RB crew! It poured clear dark copper body with medium sized head. Nice orange aroma, but mostly malty, like cooked oranges immersed into a biscuit. Aroma included also a bit of spices like peat, slight tobacco and some alcohol. Fine, but not what you expect of an IIPA. Flavor was sweet as well, rather weak biscuit and bread malt, while spices became a bit more earthy. Medium in body with finish following the flavor. Weird, to a degree enjoyable, although might be incomplete as ogivlado says, but definitely off what they (probably) meant to brew.

500ml bottle, thanks to Cuso! Pours deep reddish brown with foamy beige head. Citrus hop aroma, earthy pine and malt in the taste with some moss & bark. Ok red ale.

Flaška("Výměna" s Cusem, diky!): Golden, nearly cloudy, medium-sized - slowly collapsing - off-white head; sourish wheaty nose with a tinge of hoppy bitterness and a lemony touch; moderate sourish-sweet flavour with a slight bitterness, almost medium bodied; lingering sourish-bitter finish with a balancing malty sweetness. Well crafted and complex Pšeničné pivo…

brown plastic bottle 1000ml. -brought to Zagreb by Slovak guys (thanks!) Murky amber colured, minimal off-white head, mild hops in the nose. Toasted malt, light caramel and light hops with mild fruity notes. Surprisingly ok hops presence but a bit too light overall.

brown plastic bottle 1000ml. -brought by Slovak guys (thanks!) Pale amber coloured, minimal off-white head, light caramel in the nose. Moderate malty, some caramel, touch of herbal hops and slight dry nutty finish. Not bad but still could be better.

brown plastic bottle 1000ml. -brought by Slovak guys (thanks!) Pale golden coloured, small white head, mostly ginger and whiff of alcohol in the nose. Distinct ginger taste with notes of ginger...(LOL). One-dimensional.

Bottled 500ml. -Slovak crew of course (thanks!). Orange/golden coloured, slightly hazy, small white head, pleasant hoppy nose. Light grapefruity hoppy , orange and surprisingly not so strong bitterness in the finish. Nice one.
