0.33l bottle, thanks Alex for bringing it from Turkey, and Hrabren for sharing with Ogi and me. Hazy golden-orange body, thick off-white head. Heavily honeyish sweet floral aroma, not unpleasant but kinda hints at early onset oxidation, unless they kinda missed the malt profile of a Brut IPA fully.... But the taste is quite dried out, weirdly honeyish, floral, light, bitterish, some carbonation bite, but the carbonation actually isn't that strong, low bitterish, vaguely phenolic touches. This is... not fresh I'd say. And a non-fresh brut IPA is doomed to fail. Great to see that Czech Republic is not the only country making this style too.
