Golden-brown. Appley nose and a light toasty note. Toasty accent, but there’s too much acidity, and definitely some background funk. It’s the most beerlike of the line, but that’s like being the smartest goldfish in a bowl full of dead goldfish.

Medium-brown with a thin head. Smokey, plummy, curranty aroma...I know that sounds okay but trust me, this was not in a good way. In a good way would be those aromas accenting a beer. This lacked the beer part, and smelled like the smoked plum juice you get in Chinatown. Thin body, funky, again with the smoked plum. It lingers on the palate, too, such that you go through an entire range of nasties as every sip tortures you for a good thirty seconds. This is a long way from professional calibre.

Dark gold-amber. Light limey-fruity aroma. Sweetish, slightly extracty but relatively mild. Slight bubblegum note. This is a strange one. For being made by Czechs, it tastes nothing like a pilsner.

Hazy amber-brown. It has the aroma of raw molasses - intense. The flavour is also raw, but what came off molassesy on the nose is more gasoline-like on the palate. Woo hoo - a new brewing flaw uncovered!
