Beer no.5 of the Vinarna Hrozen tasting at the RBESG Poured a murky lighter yelow body with a big thick white head that went away slowly. A nice light nose, hops and some maltiness. An elegant light malty background, notes of apples and herbal hop. A good, balanced light beer but far from astounding.

Bottled (BB 02/2009)
Dark ruby color, good creamy beige head, lace. Caramelly, a bit grassy-woody hoppy and sourish nose. Palate is quite watery. Caramelly sweetness and some toasted notes. Aftertaste is woody hoppy leaving long bitter flavor. Ok dunkel, could have another one.

[i] [b] Bottle from Morrisons, Banbury, Oxon, consumed 13-04-08 [/i][/b] Warm gold with busy white head. I do like Czech beers and even though they are not all top notch this included they are often a step or two above the usual fare. Nice hoppiness to this that clings right to the finish, sweet malts are there but they’re trampled over by those hops and that drying finish, very nice.

Bottled. Reddish amber colour, small beige head. Aroma is malts, caramel and some very wooden notes. Flavour is quite much the same along with chocolate and a lot of wooden notes. Some mild sweetness lurking in the background too. Aftertaste is wood and some caramel.

500ml bottle from Morrisons. Pale gold, lasting beige head. Oh dear, a rather poor lager. Some wet cardboard and Saazy type hop. Bit of rubber/plastic. Bit soapy. Poor.

Bottle. Amber beer with a strong head. The aroma is very malty and yeasty and the flavour is yeasty with a bitter finish. Overall a very average sweet European lager with a bitter finish.

Bottle kindly provided by pivnizub. Ruby brown, huge golden brown head which cant wait to get out of the bottle. Roast, dust and caramelized sugar nose. Medium roasted base, light spicy notes, herbal hop balance - a small skunk hiding in the back. A bit light on the palate, thinbodied, light carbonated, quick fnish.
