COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Also known as Brou Czech Lager

6 km far from Nova Paka, there is a ruin of the Kumburk Castle, which was built in the early 14th century by the Markvartic family. The castle was reconstructed from time to time by various owners. In the Thirty Years War, it was devastated by the Swedes and in 1658 it was destroyed at the bidding of Emperor Leopold. The caste used to be the favourite destination of poet K. H. Macha. Kumburak is a pale lager with rich taste with velvety foam, alcohol 5%.

Atom (589) - Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA - SEP 28, 2011
Bottle pours clear golden with a medium white bubbly head. Aroma is grass, yeast, and honey. Taste is honey and hay into an earthy bread bitterness, almost a roasted/smoked grain flavor on the finish. Nice, flavorful and drinkable, really nice Pilsener!

A golden lager with a thin white head. A sweet malt with light signs of oxidation, light honey. In mouth, a sweet mineral malt with faint czech hops, light cardboard notes, wish I tasted this one fresher. Brouczech Lager label, BB Nov. 2010.

coldbrewky (1117) - Saugerties, New York, USA - JUL 20, 2011
.5 L bottle discovered at Half Time. Aside: Half-Time seems to hace a lack luster selection from the Czech Republic...Standards mostly. An entire Aisle for Belgium (Both sides) but only a end of aisle display for this beer rich nation...WTF. Upfront hop-Centric if there is such a thing in bohemian lagers. A solid golden with steady carbonation. Nose of hops and light smoke. Thinner even head with tight connected lacing drooping closely. Light smokiness = Yum. Nice 3 way balance . Hops up front, Central bready malt and closed by smoked meat.

Nonfiltered on tap at Gurmán festival, Hradec Králové. Suprisingly tasty, though my judgement may have been altered by the previous beers.
