Imperial Red Ale apparently, thanks Gurthnar & Cuso! Poured a dark ruby body with a small off white head. Interesting aroma, notes of sweetbread, alcohol, raisins. Where are the hops? Limp taste revealing more alcohol than there should be... malts dominate this, strange bitterness... earthy. That sweetbread note is interesting, but I expected something completely different and more complex. Damn... we must’ve run into an off bottle. Definitely unique, but none of us liked it in the end. Shame. Hope I get to rerate it in Slovakia...

Bottle. Aroma is entirely hoppy, fruity, yet earthy, grassy. Lets say close to the ground. Clear dark ruby colour. Taste is again mostly hoppy. Has some malt balance, coffee and such, but mostly hoppy. Fruity and earthy. Too earthy for my liking, tart. Good beer.

Courtesy of and thanks to tderoeck. 500 ml. bottle sampled @ “Procrastinated Spontaneity /…………/ 2 Boekjes” tasting @ Gent. Hazy oily orange with no head. Smells of oily citrus, solvents, sour, funky, smells off. Tastes bitter upfront, oily citrus, esoteric oil, bitter pine resin, sour, citrus peel, seems off. Oily lower carb. body. This bottle seemed off.

Bottle from a trade, thanks Michal! Shared with Tderoeck. Amber orange hazy colour, white foam. Bad aroma, sour nose, this beer is infected. Some notes of caramel with bitter finish. Unbalanced. This beer good be good if it wasn’t infected. It’s a pity.

Imported from my RateBeer account as Stupavar American IPA 14° (by Pivovar Stupavar):
Aroma: 4/10, Appearance: 4/5, Taste: 4/10, Palate: 3/5, Overall: 6/20, MyTotalScore: 2.1/5
23/V/14 - 50cl bottle @ home - BB: 30/V/14 (2014-524) Thanks to JefVerstraete for sharing the bottle!
Clear orange beer, big aery off-white head, unstable, bit adhesive. Aroma: bit dirty, floral, overripe fruits, toilet cleanser, floral, bit sugary, sourish, dirty. MF: ok carbon, medium to light body. Taste: very bitter, grapefruit, little fruity, dirty and dry. Aftertaste: weird, spicy, very bitter, chemical, pretty dirty. Clearly infected. Typical brewing error with a lot of eastern European small craft breweries, alas. :(

Lahev (z Prešpurka, d’akujem!):Fruity and pale-malty nose with mild, still well detectable traces of zazvor; golden coloured, hazy, visible carbonation; mild to moderate sweet-bitter flavour, soft and light bodied; lingering sweetish-fruity with spicy traces of hops and ginger. Despite the zazvor a well drinkable Bohemian Pils...

(1 litre plastic bottle, BB 30 Maj 2014, courtesy of rosenbergh, 20140519) The beer poured deep reddish brown and clear. Its head was medium sized and white. Aroma had tartness, malts and caramel. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were malts, caramel, tart berries, wort and bitterness. Aftertaste had tart berries, sweetness and bitterness. A weird brew. I doubt the tart berries in the aroma and in the taste weren’t intentional.
