Draught Foamy white head over cold-hazed, pale amber beer; rings of lace. Served too cold. Fresh pale and toasted malts, green herbs, bit resiny. Sweet caramel malt; sweet for a 11° lager, but the finish is markedly drier, if also quite neutral in taste. Very little body, making the beer seem rather empty. Good carbonation. A tad below average, compared to other Czech lagers recently tried.

Fast gone, cream-coloured head over deep red-brown beer. Old wood, balsamico, utterly out-lagered red fruit, lactic acid. Diary, lactic acid, old wet wood, dried (red) fruit, winecasks. Very dry & tart, bit undercarbonated. Very convincing as an Oud Bruin, just a tad more spritz... Txs to Jitka!

Short lived tinted head over copper, slightly veiled beer. Mild horseblanket, farmyard nose; vinous, winecasks. Sourish, even a bit aggressive compared to the nose; old wood, lactic acid, again some vinous touches (malonic?). Mild carbonation, quite wheatslick, long lasting flavours. Strangely enough (this IS a complex blend), it struck me as an excellent base for further blending. Děkuju, Jitka!

Draught Very thick, ultra dense & stable deep cream head over black beer. Roast, charcoal. Thick head seriously hampers nasal perception; fireplace ashes. Sweet-ish, with a dry main flavour, again goint a little bit towards maltsweetness in the aftertaste. Not very heavily bodied, yet a creamy MF. Well carbonated. Nice black lager, filling yet quite drinkable. Txs to Jitka!

Draught White head, lacey over veiled yellow beer. Sweet malts, leaves, straw, some toast and dry hops. Bitterish, hoppy flavour as onset; then more classical pale malts, if never getting sweet. Light body, gristslick, nowhere empty. This is how anyone can enjoy lager. Txs to Jitka!

Draught Again the unbelievable steady head, bit yellowish over lazily carbonated copper beer. Just a suggestion of smokiness. Lots of toasted matls, slightly toasted hazelnuts. Toasted, very dry flavour; restrained if present bitterness. Parsley, and a little bit of caramel. Light body, low carbonation, slick. I wish all Vienna's were made this way! Nowhere too sweet, yet cook this in, and you've got the best caramel dressing.
