Can with Barba, Elena and Trnka. Clear amber-brown body, off-white head. Huge aroma, bready, apple, light caramel, bit of glue. Meady taste, like mead gone wrong, oxidized maltiness, some herbal touches in the background. Huh, might have lost freshness, and it just didn't work. Maybe it's better ice cold when the light off-notes are hidden.

Ah, a worthy 18500! Can courtesy of djoeye, shared with Trnka, Barba & Elena at the impromptu DP tasting. Clear golden body, white head. Odd sweetish yeasty-cardboardy aroma. Sweet, creamy taste, rice-like notes, reminiscent of a tropical lager, light oxidation and pretty much no hops. Oh well...

Can 50 cl. Pours a clear golden with a solid, white head. Faint malty nose with even fainter floral hops. Light, smooth body with an unpleasant metallic note. Very subtle maltiness and hardly any hop presence. 310724

Can courtesy of djoeye. Huge thanks! Full amber-golden body, thick off-white head. Dry, light, minerally-herbal aroma, very light grapes. Light taste, green apple, maltiness, lean, almost clean apart from the apple. Okay really.

Can courtesy of djoeye, shared at BGB. Slightly hazy golden body, white head. Citric and coriander aroma, light maltiness, big and pleasant. Light taste, washed out, soft corianderish notes, light orange touches, bit washed out but quite drinkable, solid industrial wit!

Can, huge thanks djoeye! Shared with the BGB crew. Crystal clear golden body, white head. Grainy, somewhat buttery aroma. Creamy taste, mild butter, red apple, grainy... But nicely rounded. Technically not terrible, like a CZ pils someone took out all hops and most maltiness from, and added some esters. So not like a CZ pils at all apart from mild butter and silkiness and not a pils, but that was expected.
