Commercial Description:
Extraordinary beer made only from malt-house, water from the granite historical wells of Jihlava´s brewery and from the soft hops products. The uniqueness is given extraordinally full taste, soft malt taste and scent. Even thought the alcohol content is 8,1% its taste is ranked among classical Czech beers - nicely bitter, with the stable foam and bread-taste. Also its colour distinguishes "Jihlavský Grand" from the others - it´s honey-gold.

Bottled. Deep golden, small head. Fruity and sweet, medium-full bodied with rounded mouthfeel. Really hoppy, but also very sugary. Rich chewy malt tries to balance it. Long bitterness.

Bottled. A golden beer with a slight haze under a thin white head. The aroma is sweet with noets of bread and malt as well as light notes of alcohol. The flavor is sweet malty with light notes of alcohol, leading to a dry bitter and alcohol finish. The body is quite powerful.

Bottle from Pivni Galerie, Holesovice: Pours deep golden with a firm, mid-sized off-white head; mainly malty nose (honey, bread, also nutty aroma) with some floral hoppy overtones and traces of alcohol; initia maltyl sweetness changes in "the second half": good, distinctive hoppy bitterness leads to a well balanced bitter-sweet finish. Well hidden alcohol, full-bodied and warming, but still refreshing. A goodie !

Very low carbonation ponctuates the clear straw body covered by a trace of white head that rapidly becomes a ring. Aroma is immediately highly grainy, apparently a standard for strong blonde lagers with profound bleachy alcohol if not pungent. Rather strong, strawy, herbal saaz tones. Spicy palate, bringing a good slash of bitterness into the could have been too sweet development. The malt remains fairly subtle despite its quantity. Light carbonation, comfortable texture. Alright balance, quite mellow and the herbal alcohol seems to work better for me than in the aroma, but this is another beer that truly serves no purpose to me and I could just not dig it as much as my peers. There are plenty of better strong lagers, nevermind ales and this stays all along on the border of delicacy behind which stand gloriously plenty of pils or helles to serve the thirst-quenching and crisp grounds better than Jihlavsky. Plenty are far more complex while we’re at it..
