Bottle: Amber coloured, a bit unclear, small but very stable white fluffy layer, mineralic-bitter nose, dominated by an artificial raspberry (český: maliny) aroma; astonishingly more dry bitter than sweet flavours in the taste, quite light bodied; shorter bitter-sweet-fruity finish. The proof: even artificial raspberry aromas cannot destroy a well crafted czech Lager…
