Never heard of this adambier style before. This one is very dark brown with a nice big fading head. Slight metallic nose. Somewhat rude burnt bitter initial stringent flavor, over the top in sharp bitter bite. Odd, flavor of burnt paper sneaks into the middle. Interesting yet wierd. I read that adambiers are supposed to be a little tart? This one is not. Difficult brew.

Probably the best beer I had there at the source. Smells and looks like orange juice. Thicker on the palate t]just like thick orange juice. They call this a fruited smoothie. Hard to find the pineapple in this. Goes down really easy and the alky content is well hidden. To call this a beer is stretching it a little, its more like an orange juice mixed drink of some sort. Overall though, I found this to be quite good as far as taste goes.

Tap at source, looks like any other ubiquitous hazy IPA. Slight nose of flowery hops back with a little body odor. Creamy head. Bairly any co2 on the uptake. Mouth coating and rather rude. Mind you, I dislike IPA, this is just a tick so reverse my numbers if you are an IPA lover. Sharp immature brewing astringent bitter bite. I guess this is on style but that astringent bite thing is a little worse than straight up clean IPA hops.

Tap at source. I was expecting a clean fresh pilz. I'm not sure if they mixed up the taps or not but this was a hazy off yellow with a tint of brown with a creamy white head. From the start I noticed that it smelled a little like perfume. Very little if any co2 on the palate. Taste has a lavender background lurking around. Matches up with the nose. Some ill immature distracting astringent brewing flavors in there as well. Very unique but a little crude. Not sure if this actually qualifies its description, certainly far from a pilsner, especially not a czech.
