Bottled (BB 05/2008)
Golden color, decent white head. Typical woody-buttery Bohemian pils aroma, but iron is dominating the nose. Basicly flavor pars to aroma. Woody hoppy, malty, metallic ... oily aftertaste. A bit light flavor palette, could be more solid. Nothing wrong in this brew, but I’ve had better ones from Czech. This is similar to more famous product of its hometown.

Bottle: Pale golden coloured, smaller white lacing head; papery, a bit bready nose; moderate dry bitter flavour, light bodied to watery, empty MF; short dry, delicate bitter finish. Nothing unpleasant detectable, but all in all a thin pleasure...

Bottle. Dark brown with an average beige head. Aroma of toasted malt with a note of coffee. Flavor is sweet - malt, molasses. Finishes a bit bitter with some roastiness. A bit too thin.

Clear golden coloured body with a very thing white head. Aroma of lemons, cardboard, and malt. Light-bodied; sharp flavored of malt, very strong cardboard, and some nuts. Aftertaste of malt and light hop coupled with a very light nuttiness. Overall an alright beer, nothing special though. I sampled this 12 oz beer purchased at Chevy Chase Wine & Spririts in Washington,D.C. on 21-April-2007 at the Eastern Shore in VA.

0.5L bottle. medium brown, some coffe flavours though not very distinct, light body, short aftertaste. Not a complex beer but very easy to drink. Good session beer. Very good with an anchovy pizza.
