bottle from the brewery. Clear golden colour, small white head. Malty aroma. Medium-bodied, solid malty background, some grassy hops. Shy hints of vanilla. Quite mild and rather unexcited.

Dark golden with a medium head. At the beginning quite sweet and malty with notes of caramel. At the end with a medium bitterness but still a bit sweet.

(bottle) Clear, deep golden colour with a medium-sized and minimally off-white foamy head. Spicy and woody Tettnang-hops character with a mildly sweet honey-ish malty background. Moderately sweet and slightly bitter flavour, medium to light bodied with a smooth and well-matured carbonation. Slightly buttery malty base with a good dash of woody and slightly spicy hops; dry-ish, rounded malty and woody hoppy finish. Recommended. 18.I.12

Flaška (diky, Quack-Ducku!): Deep golden (by oxydation?), small white foamy layer, clear, visible carbonation, buttery-woody hoppy nose (Tettnang hops?!); moderate to solid bitter-sweet flavour, medium bodied; slightly lingering Tettnang hoppy and malty finish. Good stuff, well rounded…

Bottle from Quack-Duck, thanks! Golden color. Full bodied. Malt, maybe a hint of apple, but not very much else in the bready flavor. Shy aroma. Satisfyingly balanced.
