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.

0.5l bottle from the DBK in BIlla. Max X. Darker golden body, white head with medium retention. Malty, and vaguely fruity-hoppy aroma, herbal-sweetish. Fresh taste with prickly carbonation... with hoppiness somewhere between herbal and chewed-up bubblegum and a medium body, slightly bigger than your average desítka, as expected, but the bubblegum makes it taste like a washed-out golden ale somewhat. Vaguely citric at times, like washed out aroma hops. Eh.

From tap. Clear golden, small creamy head. Hay, straw, pale malts, some caramel, some citrus. Mild bitterness, some malty sweetness. Light bodied, soft carbonated, watery texture, light metallic bitter finish, very palatable and easy going. Nice!

Bottle. Golden colour, nice head. Aroma is malt and butter, a bit of grassy hops. Light bitterness. Light body. A bit boring.

Draft Kinda average Czech pils. I would expect something extraordinary for an anniversary of this importance, but fine... Medium bitter malty pils.
