500ml bottle. Minimally milky, redd-ish, amber colour with small, frothy, diminishing, minimally lacing, white head. Woody, vinous fruity and mildly funky, bretty aroma, notes of oak, blue grapes, some cherry, some fruity and caramel malty sweetness. Taste is mildly tart, woody, vinous fruity, minimally tangy and funky, minimally diluted notes of oak and blue grapes, a touch of cherry and raspberry, a mild bretty touch with hints of Hubba Bubba bubblegum, subtle caramel malty and fruity sweetness; lingering, sweet-and-sour finish.
Watery texture, smooth and soft, simultaneously minimally dry and astringent palate, fine, dense, mildly prickly carbonation.
Harmonious and homogeneous, mild and balanced, not overly complex - enjoyable.

On tap at Stillwell Freehouse. Pours hazy blonde with a large white head. Lovely, vibrant grassy nose. Flavour has crisp, dry grass, cracker malts. Very little carbonation, a bit soft on the edges, I suppose from the cask. Flavour profile is great, but I wish the carbonation was a lot higher.

On tap at Stillwell. Pours clear blonde with a white head. Crisp dry grass and cracker malts on the nose. Flavour has dry spicy grass, cracker malts; a bit stale on the finish. Good carbonation. It's okay, but falls short of a proper Czech lager.
