Bottled, thanjs oh6gdx! Dark brown, small beige head. Roasty coffee aroma with some dextrose. Medium sweet with notes of saccharine and cherries. Light bodied with clean mouthfeel. Some dark rye bread and lingonberries. Low bitterness. Well drinkable despite the not very subtle touch of dextrose.

drinkable, but nothing special. a bit below the average dunkel but if you like the style, you’ll probably also like this one.

Bottle. This version is 3.8%. Clear golden with a big white head, slowly-diminishing. Aroma is quite nice with some malt, grassy Saaz hops and a touch of graininess. Flavor of some sweet malt, a bit of caramel, and medium hop bitterness and metallic hints in the finish. Rather light-bodied. Right after this one I’ve had Budweiser Budvar, and this one doesn’t really come close to the latter but is still an enjoyable Budweis-style lager.

Bottle: Medium-sized loose head, rather quickly diminishing, shy clean sweet-malty nose with an even shier bitter-hoppy tinge; very light bodied, malty base like in an low-alcohol beer, extremely light bitter-sweet flavour; almost not detectable bitter finish. Less taste than some czech low-alcohol brews............

bottle sold as Crystal Lager Beer - Pours clear gold with a thin head and a grainy, lightly hoppy aroma. The flavor is light, sweet malt with some disappointingly flat hops balancing it. It’s drinkable, but thin and weak, finishing dry.

0.5L bottle. Deep golden colour, suprisingly strong malty bready aroma, pronounced hoppy flavour backed by malty sweetness with some musty wet notes in the back, short aftertaste.
