Tap at Raven Fest 2025. Hazy yellow-golden body, off-white head. Citric, some tropical notes, herbal hoppy touches, my notes are getting messy at this point. Lean, dry, herbal taste, bit juicy, tropical, but also herbal and quite bitter. Good stuff.

OMFG! Did I expect to ever try it? No! Was the 2025 Raven Fest, in honor of Raven's 10th anniversary the most likely place I'd do it - of bloody course it was! Enormous thanks to the Raven folk, I think it was Míra who got it to me. So... how does such an old BW perform now? Surprisingly well, we found. Murky brown body, off-white head. The aroma is still dominated by dried fruit and caramel, all's well there. The taste, however, shows some hits. Lean, dried out, somewhat tart, but also cake-like, lovely dried fruit touches, truly nice I'd say, but the age took its toll!
gave a cheers!

Tap at Ravenfest. Hazy yellow-golden body, white head. Lightly citric, smooth aroma, some malty and herbal notes Sweetish taste, bit malty, citric, herbal, bitterish. Simple, okay, but didn't thrill me entirely. Should maybe rerate.

Tap at Raven Fest. Purple, off-white head. Dragonfruit, cooked somehow, in the aroma, light rhubarb. Juicy dragonfruit taste, low rhubarb, low sourness. Nice, really not much more to tell about it.

Very hazy yellow colour, large, though not too stable ecru-ish off-white head; aroma of coconut, lemn zesty, grape (peel), some green tea, apricot, some floral and pear peel notes; taste has similar notes to the aroma with a good amount of hoppy bitterness; really good and refreshing one; many thanks for sharing, Kapusil!
gave a cheers!

Draft at Ravenfest, Pivovar Raven 🐦⬛ Plzen Friday 25th July 2025 had this in the company of Marko. Pours hazy almost clear gold with a large white head. Nice light buzz across the tongue, a touch of soapy hoppiness, but I like that, good beer, in fact every single beer today has been great..

Draft from a cask in front of the stage at Ravenfest, Pivovar Raven 🐦⬛ Plzen Friday 25th July 2025. Pours glowing yellow with a thin rim of white bubbles, sour and tart but not aggressively so, yes this is zappy tart and tropical but very nice.
