Labeled at Brou Czech Lager. Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a bright golden color with a medium sized white head. The aroma was crisp floral hops and tangy malts. The flavor was crisp, peppery, spicy and had a nice floral hop presence with tangy malts underneath. The finish was long, dryish and spicy. Ok.

Labeled as Brou Czech Bock. Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a bright golden-amber color with a large yellow-white head. The aroma was sour, tangy and almost skunky. The flavor was bitter, tangy and a bit off with sweet malty and light floral hops. The off flavors linger. Not impressed.

Bottled in Tu’val, Israel (3.7%). Clear golden, fair sized head. Floral oily orangey saaz hop aroma. Soapy and light bodied with plenty of oily butterscotch. A well drinkable beer with significant bitterness and plenty of diacetyl.

Labeled as: Valstejn Novopacke Pivo; Clear light copper coloured body with an amber glow and a very thin tan head. Larger bubbles rise from the bottom and show some liveliness. Aroma of fresh malt, nice sugars, peaches and clean fruit along with a subtle and understated hop scent. Medium-bodied; Strong astringent maltiness with yeast, metal and fruits up in your face. Massive malt and bitterness in the palate with some light fruits and alcohol showing, but only minuscule amounts. Overall, an overpowering and slightly overmalted beer - nice to try, but not my favourite from Ceska Republica. I sampled this 50 cL bottle purchased from Galerie Piva in Praha 1, Prague, Czech Republic on 14-March-2008, sampled at home in Washington on 08-February-2009.

Bottle. Clear copper body. White, fizzy and diminishing head. Lots of caramel malt in the aroma along with straw and grass. Hint of smoke, bread and flowers. The flavor is lightly to moderately sweet and lightly bitter. It finishes dry and lightly to moderately bitter though the bitterness sticks around. There is a hint of canned corn and smoky meat in the taste. Medium body with a moderate carbonation and a watery texture. A lot of the flavors of a below-average premium lager or pilsner only intensified. OK, but not a favorite.

Relativ herber Antrunk mit leichter hintergründiger Gewürzigkeit. Das Bier wird nun rasch bitter, der Hintergrund hat nun nichts mehr zu bieten und wird wässrig. Während sich die Bitterkeit weiter ausbreitet scheint das Hanf zumindest leichte Spuren zu hinterlassen, allerdings wirken auch die bitter und sind so nur unscharf erkennbar. Im Abgang weiter pur bitter. Test vom 27.12.2008, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 10,6,5,2,4,3 - 4,35
