(plastic bottle, 100cl) Hazy, golden colour with a short and slightly off-white foamy head. Mildly milky malty aroma with subtle fruity and spicy notes. Slightly sweet flavour, light bodied with a calm carbonation. Malty, slightly buttery taste with an underlying spicy and subtle sour-fruity touch; slim and slightly sour-fruity finish. Easy-going, not that exciting. 12.V.12

Flaška(děkuji Cusu!):Golden, hazy, small and stable white foamy layer, grainy-yeasty nose with very faint traces of hops and ginger, delicate fruity traces of infection detectable,as well; light to moderate bitter-sweet and sourish flavour, light to medium bodied, at least quite soft; short sweet-sourish finish with hoppy traces and a faint tinge of zazvor (ginger). No, not my cup of tea…

Small white head, fed by lively carbonated pale yellow-golden beer. Dry, spicy nose, giving a soft-bitterish impression. Some pale malts in the background. Dry-bitterish, spicy (if short-lived) flavour, pimented with a bit of citrus(peel). Not very outspoken, but rather nice. I would have expected at least a bit more peppery flavour from the ginger. Originally very carbonated, but it levels down, leaving some CO² pique (maybe a bit of ginger after all) on a fast flattening beer, MF- and tastewise. Again, really not bad, but it can’t keep up the effort. Many thanks to Peter V., and all the people he mobilized to get the beer in Ursel!

on tap at prague xmas beerfest ’07. yellow with a slight head; only a faint hint of powdered ginger in an otherwise generic lager, weak and watery

Pirítós Bar, Budapest. Halványsárga színe van és közepes méretű, szivacsos fehér habot fejleszt. Illata malátás, kissé élesztős és csak távolról, emlékeztetőleg gyömbéres. Íze ehhez hasonló, szintén alig érezni a gyömbért, ráadásul erősen szénsavas és túl könnyed teste van, persze könnyen lehet, hogy az én csapolt verziómmal volt most gond.

1 000 ml plastic bottle. From Rožňava, Slovakia.
Cloudy pale golden colour with tiny white head. Aroma is ginger, mild diacetyl and malt. Flavour is pretty much the same. Surprisingly fresh. On the other hand it’s also thin and flat.

Hazy yellow body, small white head. Aroma of apple, ginger, butter, bread and somehow really fresh malt. Flavour has some sweet malt, lemon, bread and ginger. Refreshing, but flat.

Draft, also in Martin meeting. Golden color with nice white head. Vegetable aroma. Moderate ginger tones in flavor, malty, light bitter tones. Light bitter finish.

Draught, Piritos. Misty yellow body, medium sized white head. Sourish light lemony nose, some ginger. Light tart ginger taste, bit minty, like toothpaste, no burn. Not too quality but refreshing and ok.

1 l PET, bought at the Pivovar Richtar Jakub, Bratislava. Golden color with nice white head. Aroma sweet, fruity. Taste starts fruity, continues malty. Nice ginger finish. Drinkable beer.
