(Bottle 50 cl) Fully golden or light amber, clear with a limited head. Focus in this beer is the amazing Challenger hops leaving a beautiful flowery aroma, but not much bitterness. Light sweetness in the palate. Another fine example of a light ale with lots of flavour. 101204

Cask. Nutty aroma. Semi-cloudy, dark chestnut colour. Malty, spicy flavour. Finish is slightly sour, but in the good way. This was the bottom of the cask.

Clean amber to dark-amber color. The aroma is quite simple, but the flavor is really interesting: malty,smoth, some sweetness, some caramel and a really pleasant hop touch. A great pleasure.

Dark amber color; thin creamy head. Ordinary aroma, malty, earthy, candi sugar. Good body structure, some sweetness, a lot of caramel, a hint of nuts. Quite good.

Bottle: Pours an amber colour into the glass. Very thick creamy long lasting head. Has a sweet malty and fruity aroma. The taste is sweet and malty, some oaky feeling too. Has a little warming and bitter aftertaste. This is a nice beer.

A red-brown beer with a fine light brown head. The aroma is very sweet with notes of berries, fruit, and nuts. The flavor is sweet with strong notes of nuts, but also lesser notes of caramel on a dry roasty background, leading to a slightly dry hoppy end.

A red-brown beer with a light brown head. The aroma is of tobacco and chocolate, while the flavor is of caramel, malt, and roasted malt leading to a dry end. But the body is thin, for the style and the ABV.

Bottle. Aroma of malt and liquorice. Flavour is mild with notes of chocolate and coffee. Couldn’t tell this from a dark Czech beer.
