Can from Kralupská pivoteka, shared with Gurthnar. Misty apricot body, medium, off-white head, fairly lasting. Tangerine aroma, sharp, fresh, bit floral and herbal, nice, bit maltier later, brown sugar, molasses even. Creamy taste, bit dull, malty, vague banana, caramel touches, molasses, some hop touches, herbal, vaaaaaaguely citric, but lost aaah, shame.

Med-full body, why wheat inside? Poor attenuation, also sub-par carbonation. Medium.bitterness, yet feels harsh a bit, unfinished. Loads of general fruity esters, overripe. Nongood.

PET bottle from Kralupská Pivotéka. Lightly hazy dark brownish amber body, off-whtie head. The aroma is dried white grapes mainly with dried sugar. The taste is... huh... leanish, but they seem to have tried to counter the lack of body with caramelly specialty malts. There's some white grapes, some herbal touches, vaguely bitter. Clearly oxidized, bit müsliish, but tolerable. If this wasn't a brut it would be undrinkable... but it is!

PETka from the KPUC. Hazy dull golden body, thick off-white head, lasting tiny head. Peachy notes in the aroma, bit unripe, turning into acetaldehyde as it warmed. Smooth, dryish taste, creamy, vaguely tart, white grape and light stone fruit touches, sweetish. Not much bitterness. Initially good enough, it fell rapidly as it warmed.

Tap at KPUC. Hazy golden body, off-white head. Lean, low citric-floral aroma. Lean, dry, citric taste, mildly floral, lower bitterness. Simple, surprisingly dry, but kinda works!

Unsure if it's the same, but called a summer ale at the store/bar. Hazy golden body, off-white head, thick, medium retention. Citric, bit chalky aroma, tea, light stone frut, somewhat resinous-funky. First one not to be pipes-funky today. Lean, dry taste, citric, chalky, simple, nice, drinkable.

Tap at the KPUC. Lovely red-amber body, darker, lasting ivory head, thick.... And oh no, funky aroma... Would definitely day cleaning the pipes and letting the first deciliter out at the start of the shift isn't their practice. Some malty, citric undertones, but impossible to rate properly. The taste is soft creamy, lovely body again, some caramel and dried fruit, no bitterness, citric, more funk. Sorry but... I can clearly see this is a lovely beer underneath, but this is no shape to serve it in...

Tap at Kralupská pivoteka, of course. Hazy golden-orange body, off-white head, lasting. Bit yeasty, sweetish-grainy aroma, bit herbal, funky. Unclean taps? Creamy taste, light grainy maltiness, sweetish, bit minerally, light funky yeastiness, low hops, some herbal touches, bit floral-fruity, but the fruity aspect might just be low esters. Bit of a mess but the body is good enough for it to be drinkable, and that's what counts

Kindly shared by Marko. Not exactly freshest hops character, more apple in both aroma and flavour than I like. A bit hard to drink, bitter, but watery feeling. Overall meh.
