Description
The first reports about brewing beer in Vysoký Chlumec date back to 1466. From 1474 onwards the brewery was owned by the Roudnice branch of the traditional aristocratic Lobkowicz dynasty. The first preserved letter to the brewery in Vysoký Chlumec dates back to 1611. During 1939-1945 and 1948-1992 the Lobkowicz family was deprived of the right to manage the brewery. In 1992 they got the brewery back through restitution. Immediately, the Lobkowicz family invested in the modernisation and innovation of brewing in Vysoký Chlumec which was completed in 2006. Own brewing stopped in 2021.

0,5 bottle. Nice bronze color worthy of a Vienna lager, the head is okay, a pleasant beer! Fine Viennese-malty sweet aroma, no flaws so far. The expected body is there, carbonation and freshness are also completely fine. Fine, caramel-malty sweet base flavor, with a very good, round, matching hops. Sophisticated, good brew, aftertaste is okay. A real snack beer!

Vienna lager-hez méltó szép bronz szín, a hab is rendben, tetszetős sör! Finom bécsi-malátás édeskés illat, semmi hiba nincs benne eddig. A várt testesség is meg van, szénsav, frissesség is teljesen rendben. Finom, karamell-malátás édeskés alapíz, mellé kapott egy nagyon jó, kerek, hozzá illő komlózást is. Kifinomult, jó főzet, utóíz is rendben. Igazi harapnivaló sör!

Bottle at home, köszi anya! Dark copper, finger white head. Malts, caramel, some indistinct sweetness. In taste it’s basically the same, closing with long sweet finish. The body interestingly feels light to medium, has average carbo.

Bottle picked up from Kaufland, Prachatiche, Czechia and consumed at home Sunday 10th March 2024. Pours warm gold with a large white head, rather disappointed with this, nose is a little large commercial brewery type beer nose, a very slight chemical touch. Taste is dull and cheap, not my thing, thin mouthfeel.
