Description
The brewery is located in Malý Rohozec, near Turnov, less than a hundred kilometers northeast of Prague. The local romantic region, located on the middle course of the Jizera River, has been called the Bohemian Paradise since the 19th century. It is a region of natural beauty, castles, chateaux, museums and traditional crafts. And also good people, and these people produce good beer for you in the traditional way: Beer of the Paradise. Not only the locals, but also visitors to the Bohemian Paradise, tourists, climbers and other nature lovers, SKALÁK beer and the sandstone rock town in the Hruboskalsko region are connected. The beautiful, picturesque nature and pleasant, fresh taste of Skalák and Podskalák simply belong together.

After the end of communism and the split of Czechoslovakia, the brewery came into private hands in 1994 who however without the know-how for running a brewery. This resulted in bankruptcy in 2002, the brewery was very outdated and the debt burden very high and yet it was taken over. The production process was examined and everything was renewed, resulting in a high quality of brewed beer.

500ml bottle. Pours clear dark gold with a tall white head. Aroma is herbal hop, pale malt, notes of skunkiness. Taste is light sweet. Medium bitter finish. Light to medium bodied. I assumed this was the same beer as Pantheon 12°, but I tried them on the same day, and they are different.

Bottle 50 cl. Pours a clear, reddish brown with a neat, creamy and lacing beige head. Nutty, slightly caramelly nose with just a tad roastiness. Kinda light in body, more of the above in the flavor - very delicate and never really sweet. Subdued bitterness and a very smooth mouthfeel. Super delicious. 110526 --- Beer aliased from original tick of Jedenáctka Řezaná 11° on 03 May 2011 at 10:32 - Score: Appearance - 6 | Aroma - 7 | Flavor - 5 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 6.
