Tap at Prague Beer Fest 2025, love the story about this one! Hazy golden body, white head. Brown sugar and pineapple in the aroma, along with honey. Smooth honey-driven taste, lightly tart, herbal, bit fruity, lovely overall!

Tap at Prague Beer Fest 2025. Very dark brown body, off-white head. Coffee and light lime in the dryish aroma, along with some caramel notes. Sweetish taste, coffee, resin and roast, along with lemony candy, ending bitterish Solid stuff, bit too sweetish for me!

Not sure how retired this is as we had it on Prague Beer Fest 2025, on tap as well. Oh man these guys and the hard liquor... But also some really cool beers! Murky orange-golden body, off-white head. Bretty-herbal, bit piney aroma, some orange notes. Lean, fairly clean dry honeyish-orangey, lightly herbal, bitterish taste, pleasant!

Lean and dry, nice citrus peel, moderate bitter rind, grass and crisp pine. Good balance. Super drinkable.

Tap at PBF 2025. Muddy pale brown body, off-white head. DMS more than any real juniper notes in the aroma, light yeastiness. Yeasty, lightly malty lean, smooth taste, lightly herbal, maybe vegetal. Nice body, but the flavors are odd.
