500 ml bottle at Restaurace U Zpevácku in Prague. Clear light yellow straw color, fairly big white creamy lasting head. Sweet scent, like a wort (unfermented beer). Small body, malty flavor, medium bitterness. Refreshing but lacks a bit in body and taste. Even still, pretty good for a non-alcohol beer when inbetween "real" beers in Prague.

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.

Medium white head over light copper body. Light, grainy, hoppy aroma with notes of metal. Light taste of grain and butter, with a bitter, metallic aftertaste. Well. Didn’t really enjoy this one much.

(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) 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.
