Bottled. Don´t what´s the use of this beer. Seems to be the 9%. Taste like a normal 10%, with some sugariness. Maybe a bit thinbodied, but that´s only natural, I think. Same as the Eggenberg 10%, that is it´s drinkable.

Bottle from Pivonka, Hradec Kralove. Pours clear golden with a small white head, low visable carbonation. Aroma is weak malty, light grassy hops. Taste has a good bitter base, with a malty base that has too much buttery notes, althoug this is a quite impressive beer for the low abv.

Bottle, bought @ a potraviny in Cesky Krumlov.
Lightly pale golden with a giant, bubbly and frothy, white head. Fair duration. Aroma is lightly buttery with some slight grassy hops and maltiness. High carbonation, fair, frothy mouthfeel. Flavour is quite buttery as well, slightly crisp, but with a firm, grassy and bitter finish. Okay.

Extreme gushing. Slight shady straw color, small white head. Sweet scent with some chemical off-flavor. Thin , sweet, chemical and sharp bitter taste. Thin body, sharp bitterness.

Dark yellow colored, little white head. Lively carbonation. Nice buttery czech aroma with fruity hops. Thin to medium bodied, rather watery flavor in start. Still butterness and hops dominate, lemon also there with medium carbonation. Some drying cardboard in aftertaste.

Bottle: Golden coloured, firm medium-sized head with a little lace, visible carbonation, moderate malt accented aroma: sweet-malt with an almost caramelly touch and a tinge of unfermented fresh wort, shy hops in the wings; solid sweet-bitter flavour, light bodied, good malty base detectable; sweet-malt and aromatic hops in the slightly lingering finish. Very good, very tasty Desitka ! P.S. When I read the impressions of my esteemed co-raters, I guess I got a 12° with a wrong label on the bottle............

bitter-weet, the flavours are not bad for a desítka, although it is a bit watery. Still a good 10° beer.

bottled. pretty bland, light hay aroma, rice bublbles, pale yellow, watery texture, no nastiness but unexciting

Bottled: Grainy base with hoppy notes. Not very intensive. Yellow color, frothy head. Flavor starts with light sweetness, grassy hop flavor, light bodied. Dry, astringent finish. Flavor is not very full, but the beer is an ok low alcohol alternative

The Lure:
Light cereal sweetness and hoppy protrusions under the appreciable head. If I breathe in harder, will I get any more aroma?

The Festivities:
Earthy and herbal hop bitterness agreeably follows the dry and petting hay. Lots of carbonation masks the flavors, but this is still better and hoppier than their other vycepni. At least, this could be a hop soda.

Transcendence:
I’m afraid Kristian’s feeling under the weather dear.

Bottled(500ml). -pale golden coloured, medium white head, light hoppy and malty aroma, light salty flavor, short and watery bitter finish
