Rated: 16.12.2009
Bottle brown, 500 ml, 12.5P
Appearance: Pours kind of flat amber, adulterated by water, black tea like but again watery, burned sugar hue but with water, body carbonation is moderate, the beer is well saturated, head is greyish, frisky, unstable, initially small and quite quickly diminishing, no lacing.
Aroma: Notes of burned sugar and some kind of skunky rubber, diacetyl, not particularly a pleasant, sharing some far - away accent similar to the real Czech or American English Pale Ale but leaves a lot to be desired, slightly spicy - orangy hoppy profile with caramellish scents. Not very strong in aroma.
Flavour: Very nice hoppy, refreshing, slightly spicy and mainly citrusy front. Pronounced notes of clementines, oranges and grapefruits, some notes of pine tree. A lot of caramell in the body which gives the impression of roastyness and kind of not noble cloying sweet palate. Finish duration is moderate but somehow kind of flat and not elaborate with dominating notes of caramelly malt.
Palate: Body is medium, texture is quite sticky, carbonation on palate is moderate, finish feel is moderately astringent and moderate in lenght.
