Golden color, small white head, some lace. Grainy, slightly barnyardish Saaz aroma. Malty, slightly buttery, easy to drink. Not very hoppy, nice Sauna beer.

Jul 1, 2008 Draught at U Klokočnika, Prague. Hazy golden, small creamy head. Light orange-hay aroma. Medium sweet with clean mouthfeel. Light bodied, but the vitak grainy malt holds up very well. The evident hop flavour enhances the flavour further and brings a lingering but balanced bitterness. Well made throughout.

Apr 7, 2008 Back from a Czech Republic pub-crawl this is part of my express ratings for the “typical” Světlý 11°- (Czech light Pils), Světlý 12°+ (Czech Pils), Polotmavý (Czech Amber Lagers) and Tmavý (Czech Black Lagers). Non-typical beers will receive personalized descriptions after the express ratings.
----------------------------------------------------------------
How: Tap at brewpub (Pivovar Kácov, Prague)
The look: Partly cloudy blonde body with a large white head
To me a typical Czech Světlý 11° and below is: Well malted body with lots of smooth cereals and a light fresh honey sweetness flavour. Some fruity notes (more fruity notes than in the 12°+) with mostly citrus fruits and a little lemon. The finish is somewhat herbal and citrusy with but unlike the 12°+ there is only a hint of the dry grassy bitterness usually associated with noble/Saaz hops. Bitterness is mild and does not really play a big role in the overall flavours spectrum. A light meringue sensation and an overall freshness impression.. Carbonation is typically very soft. These beers are low in intensity but very refreshing and drinkable in scarily large quantities.
This one: As above, typical for the style with all flavours very well integrated. Unlike the 12°, I prefered the unfiltered 10°.

Mar 24, 2008 My Bottom Line:
This immensely quaffable Svetlé Vycepni proffers delicate citrusy, peppery hoppiness throughout the yeast-laden cereals until a herbal hop bitterness beckons a larger gulp.
Further Personal Perceptions:
-A rocky head of foam stands atop the hazy gold.
-This has a great body for a Vycepni.
-This Vycepni is cleaner than that of Dvur Chyne’s (for example), but both are fine examples of this style’s potential when not überfiltered and pasteurized.
-Balance is achieved here, as in all Kacov beer I’ve had.
On tap at U Klokocnika, Praha.
