Description
The Žatec (Saaz) region is famous worldwide for its unchallenged hops so it doesn't come as a surprise that brewing started way back in the Middle Ages. In 1261 the Society of Žatec Privileged Brewers was established. Close to the end of the 18th century, the Žatec breweries together were not able to cover the full market demand for beer so after 30 years of hesitation it was finally decided to build a new brewery in 1797 where brewing started in 1801. After the German occupation the brewery was nationalized. In 1995 reprivatisation took place and in 2014 the brewery was acquired by Carlsberg. Brewery closed in Spring 2022. A new microbrewery with new ownership started brewing, using its brands, in 2023.

Delt med Rune på Nerstranda. Mørk mahognyfarget. Filmskum som blir helt borte. Aroma av bær & svisker. Smaken karamell & forsiktig røstet malt. Lett tørr bitter avslutning.

Gyllengul klar vätska med ett fingertjockt skumlock. Brödig och lätt gräsig i aromen. Bra maltighet utan överdrivet kladd. Ren och neutral beska. En riktigt god törstsläckare.

Huge thanks to quack-duck for that one! Bottle looks simple but good. Beer in the glass deep golden, huge head. Starts mild but not washy. Malty, spicy, some herbal notes. Bitter background. Finish well balanced. Light fruity aftertaste. Not bad.

--Sample, thanks ohg6gdx! -- Clear golden, small head. Aroma of hay and manure. Sweetish with light body and clean, rounded mouthfeel. Fruity with some spicy hay, notes of cabbage. Mid bitter finish. Sadly Carlsbergy.

bottle from beerdome.cz. Golden with a mid-sized white head, quickly collapsing. Promising fruity hop aroma, quite intense. Light-bodied, shy malty background, lots of good aromatic hops with citrusy hints, some tropcial fruits. Nice summer beer!
