Description
When a beer enthusiast and a brewer come together it one household it can only end up in cirrhosis or a brewery. Lucky for us, it was a brewery and we have been brewing modern beer without filtration or pasteurization since 2016. In 2021 we purchased CK tanks in Fenetra / Clock brewery and moved all of our production into this cutting edge facility. Why Chroust? Our names are Karolína and Jirka Chroustovský.

Der Herbst 🍂 bringt ein neues Saisonbier im Speisewagen 🚂 der ČD. Es ist ein mit Zimt, Orangenschale, Koriander, Vanille und anderen Gewürzen 🌿 versehenes Bier, dem natürlich auch Kürbis 🎃 zugegeben wurde, was ihm einen leicht süßlichen Hintergrund gibt. Mein deutscher Mitreisender fand es widerlich, aber ich muss sagen, dass das Getränk seine schmackhaften Seiten hat. Es ist überaus aromatisch und geschmacklich tief und ausgewogen. Nichts klassisches, aber für den kalten Herbst 👻 durchaus passend

Tap at Beergeek Bar. Clearish golden-amber body, off-white head. Bit sulfury, almost farty pumpkin aroma, spicy, nice under the yeasty-sulfury touch. Lean, light, smooth, soft, lightly minerally pumpkin and pumpkin-spice taste. Ends dry, bitterish, okay.

Can via 100 piv. Rather thin body, med to med-high carbonation. Med-high bitterness, low sweetness, malt in the background. Moderate earthy hops character, light grassy, hints of vegetal. A nice lager though, easy drinking. Not great, but good.

Can from either Base Camp or Galerie Piva Vršovice, shared with Hrabren and Ogi. Hazy yellow-golden aroma, off-white head, thick. Odd minerally, basil, bit phenolic aroma, light polyphenol touches even perhaps, but basil dominates somehow. The taste is light, dry, watery, with soft fruity touches and light polyphenol notes. It doesn't feel farmhouse, doesn't feel hoppy, doesn't feel dry-hopped. It's watery, lightly nicely phenolic, lightly badly phenolic, vaguely hoppy and that's it. Questionably flavored water. Bit sad I didn't try it fresh, but this... might be the worst Chroust beer I've had. Maybe even by far. Thankfully, the recent beers have been good, but this... oof.
