Bottle 0.75l. Cloudy, gold colored. AROMA- malty, yeasty, nice floral and flowery hops. FLAVOR- lightly sweet, bitter, almost aggressive herbal and noble hops, solid malt base. Well, not almost. Medium bodied. Great bitter and hoppy, still Czech lager.

Tap at BeerGeek Bar. Clear golden body, white head. Resin, peach, herbal notes in the aroma, creamy, somewhat malty and cleanly so, fine. Resin, citric, herbal notes in the taste, medium to light bitterness, sharp touch too, lightly oniony. Okay. Didn't push my buttons personally, but it's definitely well made and the American next to me seemed to love it, and that's saying something!

Tap at Beergeek Bar. Hazy yellow-golden body, white head. Floral-spicy hoppy aroma, minerally, lightly malty. Lean, dry taste, softly floral, fair bit of carbonation, somewhat herbal, mild bitterness. Tasty stuff! If this level's kept when Valeč becomes a physical brewery (and it probably will be kept), there will be no problems for them to widen their niche.

Tap at NaPalmě. Oh now this is a weird one. Black body, or thereabouts, murky off-white head, thick, medium retention. Lovely orange-driven aroma - Landcraft's tincture working wonders here, malty undertones. Going towards Jaffa notes aroma-wise. Roasted hazelnuts and orange notes in the taste, some herbal presence as well, but not really moreish, while it's going in interesting directions, I kinda didn't feel like finishing a 0.3l (though I did). Impressive experiment really - cool to see Jirka doing weird stuff!
