500ml Can - Golden in colour. Papaya, citrus and some slightly herbal notes feature in both the aroma and in the relatively hoppy taste.

Amber colour, small off-white head. Aroma is floral, fruity, some mild toffee tones with biscuity and mild herbal tones. Flavour is quite similar to the aroma. Smooth, and quite nice session beer.

A very dark brown pour; looks almost black in the glass with reddish hints if seen through light. Gets a quite good amount of frothy head, greyish to brownish, shows quite good retention but not much lacing. Average intensity in the aroma: some malty sweetness with caramel and lighter nutty notes, a delicate note of coffee, a bit of floral hops suggestion; clean aroma, a slight soft feeling, didn't feel especially rich though. Taste notes are a bit different from what the aroma suggested: sweet malty base still there, but caramel feels less strong, with a more vivid nutty component and perhaps hints of dark bread, roasted malts notes switch from coffee to chocolate, perhaps the slightest fruity hint on the back of things. A relatively dry per style finish and aftertaste, quite neutral tastewise, maybe a hint of floral hops. Sweetness and bitterness are both more or less average, with good balance in both taste and aftertaste; overall, a tad more bitter than usual for a tmave. Light to medium body, low to medium carbonation; decently smooth, slightly soft mouthfeel, somehow felt a bit heavier than expected for the abv. Overall: a fine example of the style.

Golden colour, mediumsized white fluffy head. Aroma is fruity, floral, some mild sweet malts with a bit grainy tones. Flavour is floral, fruity, some nectary and mild herbal tones with a bit of spruce tips to it. Fruity and rather juicy aftertaste.

Dark amber to light brown, possibly a bit of haziness, overall on the darker edge of the style. Gets a good, frothy head, the slightest off-white: leaves some good lacing, but recedes relatively quick. Average or slightly above average intensity in the aroma: sweet maltiness with caramel taking the main stage, perhaps a bit of honey, a bit of residual sugary sweetness, a touch of chocolate, a background of slightly grassy hops with a hint of fruitiness to them (jam-like orangeish i'd say). A quite interesting aroma, though not super defined. The same goes for the taste, with notes as per aroma. Sweetness and bitterness are both more or less medium and in good overall balance, in a beer that feels fairly potent for style and abv, though as mentioned not super precise. The aftertaste is slightly sweet but not sticky. Light to medium bodied, average to high carbonation, surely a bit more carbonated than many lagers; a bit more dense (and slightly heavier) than expected for the abv, but pleasantly lively. Overall: a very much fair, well balanced and quite tasty polotmavy; could have been excellent but lacked a bit in tidiness.

Classic desitka paleish golden, light haziness. Big, soft and frothy off-white head, superb retention and lacing. Average to good intensity in a very pleasant aroma: a base of hay, honey and chamomille notes, a soft butterscotch touch (totally in the "still pleasant" area); delicate hoppy notes are floral, with lighter citric/cedary hints. Taste notes follow the aroma pretty closely; pretty good taste intensity while still feeling pleasantly delicate. A bit more hop pronounced than the aroma suggested, excellent overall balance with both sweetness and bitterness coming out as pleasantly delicate, though the finish/aftertaste is wonderfully dry and slightly bitter with a bit of tea-like hops reminiscence. Wonderfully slender body, average, delicately-bubbled, soft-feeling carbonation; feels superbly sleek and soft at the same time. Overall: sort of a very conventional vycepni, but pretty much perfect at it. Superb beer!
