Half-liter bottle, date-stamped 25-1-06. This is rating #801. In the event the current rating #800 is removed or otherwise unable to fulfil its duties, this rating will take its place.
Okay enough of the preliminaries. This opens with a big Czech hop smell, somewhat oxidized. Lots of unfiltered bits swirling around. Thin, somewhat chunky head. Lightly toasty malts, but they’re matched by the adjunct of imported lager. Hops mostly make bitterness instead of adding to the flavor. Also kind of watery.

Canned(500ml). -probably the worst Radegast, thin, watery and metalic, pale golden coloured, grassy aroma with minimal hop notes

(Bottle 33 cl) One of rather few Czech porters. More dark brown than really black with a rich, dense head. Deliciously malty and somewhat caramel-like flavours and pronounced roasted notes. Licorice-like dryness in the palate. A very solid porter. Beautiful holografic label.

(Bottle 50 cl) Fully golden with a fairly decent head. Rather pronounced hoppiness. Best Radegast so far.

(Bottle 50 cl) I sampled this together with "Radegast Triumf" - two light pilseners. My first impression was, that this had a bit more hoppiness to begin with, but it pretty much vanishes in the finish. Colour, head and ingredients are pretty much alike. One wonders why a brewery markets two so similar products.

(Bottle 50 cl) Very straight but ordinary light Czech pilsener. A touch of hops in the palate and then a lot of nice water to quench your thirst.

(Bottle 50 cl) Pale golden with a nice, fluffy head that leaves laces, when it collapses. Has the odd sweetish feel as with some NA beer (others have more cardboard- or metal-flavour!). Very quenching and not bad at all for a NA. I believe it’s a licensed brew of the Swiss Birrell.

Draft, at the Maple Tree Inn Certainly well presented in the glass: Golden pils color, thin head, etc. Smell is that decently malty "beer" smell those of us raised on pale lagers come to expect. A decent base Bohemian hop character that is mostly bitterness without any other great distinction. This probably would taste much better closer to its home, but as it is, it’s a nice beer I wouldn’t be ashamed to serve.
