1 l PET, bought at the brewry-brewpub, tasted at home.
Poured clean yellow, medium-small lacing white head. Aroma of grains, barley, herbs, vegetable hops. Medium-thin bodied one with malt, malt and malt, some yeast, little bit unmatured character with some stork’s-bill. For everyday use...

(pet-bottle, 100cl) Hazy, pale golden colour with a short foamy white layer. Slightly oxidised cara-malty aroma. Mildly bitter flavour, light bodied with a calm carbonation. Cara-malty and slightly yeasty taste with notes of popcorn and a shy hops character in the mildly bitter finish. 17.V.12

Flaška (gšeft s Cusem!):Golden, hazy, mid-sized lacy head, typical house character: chalky and fruity nose , minerals and some hops detectable; light bitter-sweet flavour, light bodied and really soft; short bitter-tart finish, fruity traces as well. No, not bad; You’ll find worse Desitký in Bohemia and Slowakia…

No head; lazily carbonated metallic golden beer. Sweet, malty nose, with a touch of caramel, even toffeearoma. Malt, caramel, CO², touch of corn, but also mineral water, and, above all, virtually no restsweetness, resulting in a quite desalterating, fresh drink; utterly light, of course, but pleasing; Even hoppiness in the background. Warming up, there’s a light cigarette-ash smokiness, that doesn’t spoil anything! Surprisingly balanced; beats most comparable English pasteurised bottled bitters hands down. Many thanks to Peter V., and all the people he mobilized to get the beer in Ursel!

Bottle from brewery. Light golden color with medium white head. Malty aroma. Taste, malt, honey, fruity hints, hoppy bitterness in background. Bittersweet finish. Drinkable.

1L bottle via Cuso in trade. Hazy yellow with a bright white bubbly head. Steady carbonation, plentiful thru the thick honey haze. Sharp yeasty nose. Light citrus there as well. Light to moderate quick body. Crisp and open. Abrupt tangy sour finish. Droopy sparse lacing. As beer warms it stays yeasty and sour but light malt body goes flat. Lively continued carbonation throughout. Nice.

bottle, kindly donated by Cuso - thank you! Hazy pale golden colour, mid-sized white head. Grainy malty base with perhaps a touch of honey, pleasantly hoppy throughout.
