Tap at TSV. Clear full golden body, thick off-white head. Lightly oily herbal aroma, nice bready yeastiness/maltiness showing up later. Bit bready, herbal taste, smooth, but slightly generic, not the most enticing of malty or hoppy notes, the Comfort not going beyond "okay, serviceable" in the last two beers I had with it. Cleanish, by the bookish, works, not my favorite by a large margin.

Med-thin bod, med bready malt. Med-high carbo. Med-high bitter, low sweet, quite dry. Med grassy, light earthy, generally fruity hops, nothing special in this department. Light lager yeast. Clean, drinkable. Overall good but not great.

0.75l at TSV with Barba, Gurthnar and Elena. Hazy yellow-golden body, off-white head, medium. Bit funky honeyish citric aroma. Lean, dry taste, floral, bit honeyish, mild lime, okay, loooooow sulfur. Uneven, decent.

Tap at To si vypiješ. Lightly hazy shiny pale golden body, off-white head. Orange-driven, sharp hoppy notes in the aroma, some NZ herbs weirdly, followed by smooth soft stone fruit. Smooth yet quite dry taste, bit of citrus, low low stone fruit, some "New Zealandish" herbal notes and a sharp bitter finish cutting it off. Not too chuggable sadly, the finish kills it for me.

Med-thin body, med carbo. Med bitter, light sweet. A bit muddled hops character, medium general fruity, med-light grassy, light earthy. Does not feel fresh hops-wise, but drinkable, okay.

Tap at Malý pivo, with the Barba crew and Gurthnar. Cleanish golden body, thick creamy off-white head. Citric, bit funky herbal aroma, low sulphur. Lean, dry citric - grapefruity taste. Lightly peachy, tangerine, hay and bitterish sulfury aroma. Bit rustical but okay.

Does not deliver at all. Thin bod, med-high carbo. Lots of musty, damp basement, and unpleasant earthy-grassy hops character. Not good at all, where did all of the flavour go?
