Darker brown. Aroma is perfume, slight licorice, black bread. Taste is fresh, with harsh bittersweet malt. A bit thin and not very innovative.

Lahev: Deep ruby-amber coloured, clear, medium-sized tanned head, that slowly collapses; dryish bitter-sweet nose of caramel and toasted malt with delicate coffeeish traces; mild to moderate sweetish-bitter flavour, pretty light bodied, not really soft; lingering toasty-mineralic finish with some coffee showing up in the aftertaste. Nothing wrong with it, just a bit thin...

0.3 l on tap at 'Novomestský Pivovar'. Clear, golden with a thin, dense, almost stable, white head. Sweetish, slightly grassy-spicy aroma of grains and some straw. Moderately sweet, slightly bitter, gently grassy-spicy taste of grains, straw, some butter and traces of citrus, followed by a short, medium bitter, slightly grassy-spicy finish. Medium body, smooth and slightly effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Very solid!
