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.

Pours a clear coppery color, topped with a fine tan head, quite lasting. Malty aroma, a bit biscuity with mild grassy notes later on. Taste is sweet, malty and a gentle presence of caramel. Gentle bitterness. Nice and drinkable though nothing special.

On tap at the Grajski festival piva in Sevnica. Pours a hazy yellow golden yolor, topped with a medium sized and very lasting white head. Banana and citrusy notes in the aroma, very nice. Taste is midl, a bit wheaty and slightly sweet. Too bad, aroma was much more promising, Still, decent and drinkable.

Bottle @ home. Hazy yellow color, full sized white head. Smell and taste wheat, yeasty, sweetish, a slight citrussy touch. Average body and carbonation. Decent.

(Draught at U Slovanske Lipy, Prague, 25 July 2015) Golden colour with frothy, white head. Malty, slightly fruity nose with notes of bread, honey, peaches and hay. Malty taste with bread, cereal, peaches, grass and a gentle bitterness. Medium body, with a touch of sweetness. Well balanced and fairly taste, but hardly exciting. Enjoyable.

(bottle, as Vysoký Chlumec Markýz Pšeničné Pivo, 4.3% abv) Cloudy, orange-golden colour with a mid-sized and slightly off-white foamy head. Yeasty, heavily banana-fruity aroma with wheaty notes, a discreetly milky touch and hints of phenolic spices in the background. Mildly sweet and slightly sour flavour, light bodied with a slightly spritzy carbonation. Yeasty, slim wheaty and sour-fruity taste with notes of banana and citrus; a tinge of clovy spice stays in the background; slim, wheat-malty and fruit-accented finish. Not really a highlight although refreshing. 26.I.15
