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 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.
