Bottle bought at Pivo, London. Aroma has malts, caramel and a touch of sourness. Clear dark amber. Foamy white head. Light bitter, sweet caramel with a saccharine streak. A touch of restrained spice. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Verging on creamy. Average-fizzy carbonation. Long slightly astringent. It's OK - just a tad too sweet for my taste.

Bottle from Billa (batch 49-51) on the main square. Clear golden body, white head, nice. Grainy, sweetish aroma, light sickly herbal touch. Sweetish malty taste, grainy, a bit cleaner than the others, if there's hops, there's just traces of this. Not bad really, but can't see myself enjoying this that much - it's just maybe a bit fresher than the 10° and the 11° I'd had today.

Can from ENAPO Líšeň I think. Batch 5-7. Full golden body, white head. Grainy malty aroma, slightly husky, Taste... some soft husky-grainy maltiness, mild herbal hoppiness, and some weak bitterness. Yeah, I guess this counts as bitter for this brewery, though I wouldn't guess more than 25 IBUs. Not digging the maltiness in this one, there is trace diacetyl in there too, and it definitely could use a few more IBUs of hoppiness, but not their worst beer-

Bottle (batch 20-22... getting a bit old?) from the basement Billa in the Brno main square. Slightly darker golden-amber body, white head - going fast. Interesting aroma, grainy notes, light popcorn but also this citric, weird orange candy maybe sweetish undertone. Well, hello hop, you are defintely being used. This herbal-sweetish citrus touch is there, popping up from a dry, slightly caramelly, slightly bready maltiness, light grainy touch to counter it, mildly sweetish finish, no bitterness. Definitely Moravian-style in its refusal to put any counter to the maltiness, despite the extra-hopped claim. Still, can't say there isn't an interesting little hop profile (really wonder what they use) down there. Will rerate fresh hopefully - while the graininess keeps the score slightly down, I can see this getting a higher score when it's not 2 months to its BB date.

Bottle at home in Hackney - picked up from HOTM. Pours clear honey-gold with a modest, creamy white head. Light-medium sweet with pleasant sun-kissed biscuity character, a little grain and cereal, grass, straw. Light bodied with fine to average carbonation. Fairly clean finish, lightly grassy and herbal, restrained biscuity sweetness. Very drinkable.
