Bottled (BB 12/2008)
Light clear amber color, small white head. Buttery, woody-hoppy aroma with some fruityness, like from apples. Flat mouthfeel. Sweetish malty, apple-like flavor. Somewhat cellary, almost like drinking French biere de garde. Light hoppyness, more in the aftertaste. Not the most typical Czech pils, flat sweetness made me wonder if my bottle was normal (although it tasted ok), but omhper’s rating was somewhat similar.

Muffig hopfiger Antrunk, etwas säuerlich werdend, etwas malzig. Etwas wässrig, bitter, weiter wässriger werdend. Nun erscheint ein leicht röstiger Ton mit einer künstlich wirkenden Fruchtigkeit. Etwas süß, komisch. Nicht unbedingt mein Fall.. Test vom 17.3.2008, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 9,6,5,7,7,6 - 6,35

Bottled. Clear deep golden colour with mediumsized white head, which leaves nice lace. Aroma is butterscotch, grass, some hay along with some mild herbal tones. Flavour is bigtime grass, herbs lurking in the background along with sweet malts and some earthy hops.

The bottle looks not bad, but that’s a matter of taste. In the glass a little bit turbid. Flavor spicy, finish a little bit sourish. Good beer.

Das Bier startet malzig, getreidig, etwas hopfig. Der Mittelteil ist deutlich wässriger, eine getreidig-bittere Note ist im Vordergrund, im Hintergrund existiert eine dezente Süße, die sich schnell verabschiedet.Im Nachgeschmack weiter leicht bitter, was sich zu einem sehr bitteren Ton entwickelt, der hopfige Part wird schwächer. Bitteres Pils! Test vom 24.10.2007, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 10,8,8,9,10,8 - 8,45

Bottle, thanks Pivnizub. Hazy amber, bearling carbonation, creamy off-white head. Honeyish and light berrylike aroma. Light body, hayish base - metallic herbal hops, light berry notes. Fresh, not too exiting. I am deducting points for the silly label.

Bottle, 5.2%. Clear orange/copper colour. Small, stable white head. The flavour is sweet and malty with medium bitterness. A little creaminess in both flavour and mouthfeel.

Bottled. Dark reddish brown colour with mediumsized beige creamy head. Lacing. Aroma is strong of roasted and caramel malts along with raisins, some fudge and licorace.Flavour is roasted malts, sweet dark dry fruits, but gets very papery in the finish. Roastiness and some dark dryu fruity hints stays for quite a bit in the aftertaste.
