Can via Pult, Prague, after PBF fest. Rather thin body, dry, medium carbonation. Quickly disappearing head, rather soapy big bubbles. Clear dark brown colour. Medium bitterness, low sweetness. Loads of smoked aroma and flavour, bacon, but also kinda oaky? I am new to alder smoke, but it is intense here, and very good, I love it. Beer overall easily drinkable, very tasty. Great.

Draft in nyc. Frankly pretty darned good. Flavorful and not ridiculous, clean but also malty

Tap at Dva kohouti. Medium body, medium carbo. Definitely more on the lager side of an IPL. Now, reading the description, seeing that Kazbek is star, it makes sense. There is no over the top fruitiness, but lots of herbal, grassy, Czech character. A bit earthy. Medium body, medium carbo. Med-med-high bitterness, light sweetness. Good, but not great, honestly boring.

Tap at Dva Kohouti, big thanks Adam V! Clear golden body, off-white head. Floral, herbal, huge hoppy aroma. Lean, dry taste, floral, herbal, minerally, light, lightly tart. Not the happiest with the body in the end but good one to be entirely fair!

Tap at PBF. Spot-on, classic, with all the malt, hops and yeast playing their part in creating a really well balanced, tasty, good beer.

Tap at Pult, thx! Creamy blackish body, off-white head. Creamy nuty, caramelly, cocoa aroma. Similar taste, light, creamy, dry, nutty, caramelly, cocoa, roasty, low green apple later. Good one, if lacking body and daring for a "wow" effect - typical by the book, very good American take at a Czech style really.

.4l draft at Novare Res Bier Café in Portland, Maine. The pour is an opaque black, dark brown with a thick foamy 1 ½ inch head. Nice, coating lace. The aroma is big smoke, ham, and flint, The taste is a big round smoke, soft char, and the ham. Finishes with the mineral earth and more smoke. The palate is light bodied with fine carbonation and the drying smoke mineral finish. Well done, big campfire vibes.

Draft at Shelter pours a dark, translucent deep brown with a nice cap of foamy beige head. Nose is malty, nutty, cream soda but a nice earthy smoke. Flavor has a little rubbery character but you can look past it. Malty sweetness balances it so well. Long finish. Really w3ll balanced, as you'd expect.
