On tap at Zach’s pub, Plzen. Beautiful amber colour. Some ashtray, but decent malts, some sweetness. I rather like this. Reminds me of a session bitter. Slight bitterness on end. Bit of toffee. Just this toastiness that I like.

On tap at Na Parkanu. Black, thin beige head. Alcohol burn on end. Some burnt malt, charcoal. It’s ok, burnt, a bit to burnt and too much alcohol. Some fullness, but it lacks something. A tad sweet too.

On tap at Na Parkanu. I had been travelling all day from London to Plzen and I had humped my luggage halfway across town to my hotel, before heading down here to meet up with the rest of the RBESG. I hadn’t had a drink all day and it had been very hot by English standards. So by 19.30 I was gasping for a cold beer. Which makes this probably explains partly why I liked it so much. Slightly cloudy gold, thick off white head. Earthy aroma. Yeast. This is gorgeous. Some bitterness/yeast/earthy. So refreshing. Almost tastes as if it was dryhopped with earthy hops. That is awesome. 4.3/5.0. Re-rate 2 days later on the Saturday evening with Chris_o and Ruth. I still absolutely loved this, but I knocked 0.1 off now that I had time to reflect more on it. Still the best Czech beer I had over the weekend and the only one I conciously went back for. We had a filtered pint inbetween 2 unfiltered and the difference really was startling. The unfiltered is just so much better. Re-rate-unfiltered from the brewery from the wood. Hazy gold, thin lasting white head, slightly woody yeast, hoppy aroma. I think maybe more intense than the Na Parkanu version, bit more uncultured, more hoppy, but I prefer the Na Parkanu more 3.8/5.0

From tap at Na Parkanu. Pours dark brown with a two finger thick tan head. Roasted malt aroma with distinct fruity complex nose. Light fruity accent too. Flavour is sweet fruity and mild liqourice to a solid roasted caramel malt base. Smooth toasted caramel malt finish. Great brew.

From tap at the Marriot hotel in Plzen. Pours clear and golden deep orange to amber with a slowly diminishing light tan head. Aroma is solid breadish with a mild spice accent. Flavour starts dry and breadish, light fruity too. Turns slowly towards a more spiced and bitter flavour but not loosing the breadish dry flavours. Ends malt flavoured with a bit of sweetnes showing through.

Draught at Na Parkánu, Pilsen. Clear amber, small head. Light caramelly nose with vague notes of grass. Medium bodied with clean rounded bld mouthfeel. Raw and clumsy, simple and dull. Faint resiny finish. Very mediocre in comparison to the Pilsner Urquell Kvanicový they also serve here.
