6.2/10 β€” Appearance 6 Aroma 7 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 6
Pours copper with a large, quickly fading head.Aroma isn’t exactly bold but shows some sweet bready and caramel malt. Not really clean either. Seems to have some grainy character. Later on some nutty and chocolate hints show through.Flavours are more intense but also less precise. Caramel and nutty notes transfer through well but the rough grainy note is almost harsh and the alcohol is solvent-like.Too much carbonation, but the body is nicely slick.

Draft. A hazy golden beer with a lazing thin beige head. The aroma has notes of malt as well as lighter notes of hops and caramel. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt and caramel as well as lighter notes of hops, leading to a lightly bitter finish.

Pours dark amber with a creamy off-white head.Aroma is very malty with huge amounts of caramel, toffee and toasty malt. Little in the way of hops, a faint earthy and grassy note is just noticeable.Flavours share the rich malt notes previously mentioned, before some grassy hops and a one-dimensional boring bitterness rolls through.Carbonation is way over the top, creating quite a dry finish.

Pours vibrant gold with a large lasting head.Nose shows soft floral hops with hints of pears. Impressive bready and cookie dough-like malt and honey underneath.More floral hops and sweet malt show as flavours, again with lots of bready notes. Finishes with a soft but lingering bitterness.Too much carbonation!Definitely Bohemian in style, with those lovely floral hops and gentle bitterness.
