One of the highlights of my Czech beer experience, and the beer that changed my mind about the Vienna style. This beer is very dark red. It has a thick head that lacesthe glass and never completely fades. Aroma has caramel, malt, fruit, and hops. Malt flavor with tannic red wine; dry like wine with a similar mouthfeel. Excellent palate. Very good.

Excellent in its own style and not bad otherwise. Sampled from the tap. Gold and highly carbonated. Long lasting white head. Light hop aroma, and light bitter flavor; light all around. If you called it a pilsner, I wouldn’t call you a liar.

Blond color. The aroma is a bit better than the taste, but it turns to be a very common one, with a sharp cereals/corn character.

Dark reddish brown with a collapsing light moka head. Sweet caramel and prunes in aroma, lightly vinous. In mouth, sweet caramel, watery bodied, slight smokeyness noted, and signs of oxidation. Light bodied. Some metallic notes develop as beer warms.

An orange beer with a thin white head. The aroma is very light malty with a very faint hint of hops. The flavor contains lots of caramel on a rather sweet background, leading to an end with an OK hop presence, but since the body is watery thin, the hops more seem like covering up the thinness like in a low alcohol beer. A very boring beer.
