Šariš 12% Premium

Brewed by Pivovary Topvar - Pivovar Šariš (SABMiller)
Style: Bohemian Pilsener
Velký Šariš, Slovak Republic

50 cL bottle. Pours clear and golden yellow with a lacing white. Light cornish and medium dry aroma. Flavour is medium dry cornish and light bitter towards a growing dry bitterness. Ends dry and mild cornish. Clean and crisp.

You need to try this on tap, bottled version does not do it justice. Pale in colour, light, golden brown; solid head (even from bottle); smells really good, certainly a fruity aroma; Solid, hoppy taste, really smooth body, actually has great substance. Pleasant after taste, not too heavy or mouth souring.

Bottled at Pivovarsky Klub, Prague. Clear golden, average head. Sugary nose. Sweet and clean. Notes of vegetables and hay. A rather lifeless beer that bears all the marks of an industrial lager. The light touch of hay-like hops that gives it some late bitterness however gives it a few points extra.

Bottle brown, 500 ml, 12 P
Appearance: Head is rocky, not regular, off-white, yellowish, head size is initially average than quickly decreases to small and there is only a white circle around the glass wall, no lacing. Body is flat but colour is amber so better than in 10 P version. Body is clear.
Aroma: More heavy than 10 P version, more malted barley from Slovakia that gives the beer nice malty sweetness, a hint of alcohol, of course hoppy freshness, floral and a bit fruity, oily, white, wine grapes, again simple aroma but rounded and well blanaced, aroma is not strong.
Flavour: Very nice, full taste, crispy, grainy, bitter and floral from high hoppy content, a nice base and bacground of mild carbonation, saltyness and sweet malted barley, beer is natural, has no extra sugar, very nice, finish duration is long, yeasty.
Palate: Body is full, texture is dry and a bit oily, carbonation is soft on palate, finish feel is bitter, hoppy, grainy, malty but not much of sweet, crispy.

great beer...nice color, smooth, some honey, nice body and head...great beer after a hike...must try tap.

bottle, received from a friend. Golden yellow colour, nearly amber. Persistent and creamy head. Malty and hoppy, well-balanced. Hints of grass, hay and corn. Dry finish, there is a certain pleasant bitterness on the tongue.

Thsi seemed to be the locals choice of bottled beer while out eating dinner. I tried one after three days of draft delight of the other brewieies of this region. Pours a deep golden with a pale head that diminishes quickly. Sweeter than i had expected but with a nice punch of a body. i wish I would have had the presence of mind to grab the bottlecap for my collection...but nooooo, I had to go to another pub.

I had this in Bratislava accompanied with garlic soup in the "slovak pub" What I rememberof it was that it was crisp and clean with a carbon sting in throat, very enjoyable
