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 This resulted in bankruptcy in 2002, the brewery was very outdated and the debt burden very high and yet it was taken over.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.

50 cl. bottle at café in Warsaw. Clear, deep golden colour with an amber tint. Big, frothy white head. Sweet aroma with butterscotch, grasses, hay and a light herbal note. Taste is light sweet. Medium body, soft and texture and a soft carbonation. Finishes dry and bitter with caramel malts grasses and some earthy hops. Okay Pilsner.

Tap at RJ. Aroma malty, caramel, herbal hops. Clear golden colour, stable white head. Taste is herbal hoppy and some maltiness. Quite balanced. However overall not too good. Average beer of this type.

Bottle from Tuzex, Berlin. – Colour is deep gold. Aroma is sickly sweet, with an artificial note which is characteristic of beers brewed with adjuncts. Indeed, this one contains sugar as well as malted barley, according to the back label. It starts sweet with notes of banana (which reminded me of a wheat beer) and with an unpleasant artificial sweetness. The middle is rather empty, without grainy or malty aromas. Unpleasantly bitter finish without hop aromas. - Quite disappointing stuff. This is very different from what I had on tap at the brewery restaurant in Maly Rohosec some days ago, or rather, it is another beer altogether. Why did they have to doctor the stuff before bottling it?

Fruity, slightly tart taste with raspberries, citrus and vanilla, Fruity and quite tart finish with a low bitterness. Medium body, quite dry. Interesting. Refreshing and quite nice.

Bottle. Pours clear copper brown with small but stable off-white head. Clear aroma of caramel malt and hops with notes of yeast. Bitter, hoppy flavour with regular notes of malt and a touch of caramel. Bitter, slightly metallic and cardboardlike finish. Drinkable but nothing particularly impressive.

Text von 2019:
Nach einigen Jahren wieder einmal getrunken. Auch diesmal wirft mich das Gebräu nicht vom Hocker. Man kann es schon trinken, aber weder das Malzige vom Dunklen noch das Helle können das Bier lenken, das irgendwie herumeiert. Ich brauche es nicht mehr, aber es gibt schlimmere.

Ein uriges tschechisches Zwölfgrädiges, wie es im Buche steht. Etwas herber als die klassischen hellen Elfgrädigen und schön voll im Geschmack. Kein Schnickschnack und doch alles da wo es hin gehört. Sehr empfehlenswert.

Wenn ich an dieses Bier denke, so fällt mir immer wieder ein, wie ich es am Strand des "jezero" während meines Aufenthaltes in Poděbrady im Sommer 2013 getrunken habe. Besonders um sich auf die "domácí úkol" vorzubereiten. Ob es wirklich aus dem Paradies kommt, wie der Werbespruch "Pivo z Českého ráje." sagt, will ich einmal so stehen lassen. Geschmacklich hatte ich schon Angst, dass es sich wieder um einen abstrusen picksüßen Radler handelt, von denen es in diesem Land viel zu viele gibt. Aber es erinnerte eher noch an ein belgisches Fruchtbier mit feiner Note. -Ich kann es nur empfehlen.

Ein wirklich wunderbarer Vertreter der klassischen elfgrädigen, hellen Biere aus Tschechien. Ein schöner, voller malziger Körper mit getreidigen Noten und hopfigen Spitzen. Wunderbar süffig und angenehm zu trinken. Nicht übertrieben und auch nicht fade. So sollte es immer sein.
