3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
UPDATED: DEC 20, 2012 On tap at Nota Bene. Dark amber with a lasting off white head. Aroma has some citrus hops, but unfortunately covered in diacetyl. Dryish malty and citrus hoppy flavour. 3.0 rating
Bottled: Same weak hop aroma with diacetyl. The flavour works a little better with some malt and citrus hops. Quite bitter.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 14/20
Draught at Nota Bene, Prague. Dark amber with a creamy head. Nice aroma - caramel, slight diacetyl, some pine and strong tropical fruit notes - peach, passion fruit and citrus. Sweet malty body and a very strong yet abruptly fading bitterness. Tropical hoppy flavour, disappointingly short, buttery finish. Very full body and that means that this beer is heavy, too heavy in fact, a bit difficult to drink. And I mean elephant-heavy. Brevnov? Perhaps a more adequate name would be Brezhnev. Still very good but needs some improvement to compete with the big boys.
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
bottle from Kulovy Blesk Praha. Hazy amber colour, large and creamy off-white head. Lovely hop aroma with trpical fruit. Solid and intensive malty base with an obvious "Czech" malt profile, combined with very fruity hops, lots of tropical fruit and resiny hints. An IPA with a Czech touch, a very nice interpretation of the style - not a copy of an American IPA but clearly with its very own character.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle, purchased at slunce ve skle 2012 and shared with my old buddy mowbeer. Good to look at - rusty amber with a large and persistent off-beige head; aroma of toffee apple and red berry, slightly roasty and syrupy which is a bit surprising for an IPA (although it is polotmavy, I suppose); medium bitterness with hints of caramel, nettle and blackberry. A curious concept of a cross between a Vienna and an IPA and not entirely without merit

Bottle. Pours Golden with a white head. Aroma is Grassy but more-so. Some degree of tropical hops. Nice caramel malt. Finisih is textbook grapefruit dry. Very nice.
