Handbottled from brewery. Dark amber color with medium off-white head. Strong citrus hoppy aroma. Solid malty base with caramel, followed by nice portion of citrus hops. Long hoppy bitter finish. So far the best from 4 beers I have tasted from Lanius.

Handbottled from brewery. Golden color with medium white head. Malty, fruity aroma. Malt, harsh hoppy bitterness and Diacetyl in taste. Not bad, although it should be lagered little bit longer, I think.

Tap at the brewery. Aroma hoppy, fruity, orange, tangerine, with slightly too much caramel. Overall decent. Hazy amber-ruby-brown colour. Big head, moderate duration, poor stability. Taste is hoppy up front, high bitterness. Orange-tangerine flavour, light grassy, light resiny. Good one.

Tap at the brewery. Aroma dark malts, roast, coffee, only light sourness. Dark colour. Big head, but quickly deteriorating. Taste is paradoxically rather sweet, chocolate, coffee, dark fruits, almost none sourness. Caramel.

Tap at the brewery. Aroma dark malts with a generous amount of astringency. Dark colour, unstable beige head. Taste is centered on the dark malts . The sourness is fortunately not tragic, but still easily noticeable. Coffee. Agreeable, though definitely not my style.

Tap at the brewery. Hazy murky yellow colour, stable white head. Aroma shows lager-like eggy yeast. However taste takes a different turn. Quite prominent spices - as if actual spices were used in brewing. Clove, but in a different way than what the classic yeast strains produce. Overall fresh, enjoyable, somewhat sweetish. I rate it good despite the shortcomings.

Tap at the brewery. Aroma caramel, metallic yeast. Hazy amber-brown colour, stable head. Taste is centered on malt. Caramel, a touch of roasted/spicy. Hop bitterness slowly moving forwards towards the finish. One league better than Ceský, but still got a lot of space to improve. Promising base. Somewhat thim body.

Tap at the brewery. Aroma yeasty, young. Hazy golden colour. White head, moderate duration, unstable. Taste shows the same young yeast character. Eggy. Needs to either lager longer, or enhance the yeast precipitation in some other way. Other than that, the beer shows big promise, just needs more attention during lagering.
