Tap at U Klokoně, the ideal place for me to get these shit seasonals as it's in between far better places. Anyway, shiny, shiiiiny paler green body, bit unnatural, greenish but mostly off-white head. Buttery aroma, bit o'malt, sweerish, low herbal notes. Odd sweetish stale grainy taste, weirdly herbal along the edges, not really hoppy, apart grom the low bitterish touch in the finish. It barely avoids jokes about it being adequate self-punishment to commemorate the betrayal and death of Jesus being legitimate, but am I ever gonna try it again unless I'm forced to by a series of unusual circumstances? Nah.

Surprisingly ok, no major off-flavors, just normal bland beer, better than most macros. Even some hops flavor present. I am not offended. --- Beer aliased from original tick of Staré Brno Světlé Výčepní on 03 Apr 2015 at 04:25 - Score: Appearance - 8 | Aroma - 5 | Flavor - 5 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 5. Original review text: Bottle. Corny syrupy aroma. Clear deep golden colour. Taste is corny, astringent. Almost drinkable, ice cold temperature helps.

Tap at Zlatá loď. Quite clear for an unfiltered, golden, off-white head. Hope they brought me the correct one, though I was clear. Tank Bitr if they didn't. Low dry aroma, bit malty, low herbal hoppy notes. Dry, lean, minerally taste, low grainy notes, herbal hoppy finish, not terribly bitter, but to be fair, and considering Starobrno's reputation, this is quite nice. Might edit aftet it warms a little, but hey, a very decent macro! Who woulda thunk Heineken ČR had it in them!

Clear dark golden with a foamy head. Metal, caramel, again metal, lemon. Hoppy metallic bitterness, hints of caramel sweetness. Medium bodied, oily texture, soft carbonated, metallic bitter finish. Average macro Czech lager.

Med-thin body, med-high carbo. Medium bitterness, med-light sweetness. Lots of unpleasant sweetish syrupy maltiness, with an astringent edge. Only light faintly grassy earthy hops character present. Not very enjoyable.

Can from Albert Butovice. Clear shiny golden-amber body, thick off-white head. Herbal, dry aroma, some caramelly notes. Oxidized, cardboardy dry taste, caramelly, herbal, bitterish.... eh, oxidized. Nice that they made an actually hop-driven, bit dryish beer, but not in perfect shape.

Der Name des Biers kommt aus dem Brünner Dialekt, genannt Hantec und dieses Wort zeigt leicht auf seine deutsche bzw. jiddische Herkunft, also Stadtl. Ein Brünner Wort was mir auch noch ein fällt ist Šrop (von Geschropp, also kleines Kind) oder Šalina für Straßenbahn.
Das Bier ist ein tiefes Lagerbier, das aber noch kein Bock ist.
Man kann es schon trinken, aber mir war es zu wenig süffig und zu schwer.
