3.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Grassy, flowery bits in the aroma. Quite hoppy aroma. Otherwise, the flavor is a quite typical bready pils, with some pepper to break the unidimensional flavor profile. Moderate bitterness. Nice head, nice conditioning, not very challenging. Flavor needs to be at once more delicate and different and also bolder.

3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bottle, 3.9%. OK grainy aroma. Hazy dark golden colour (3 weeks past BB date). Stable white head. The flavour starts off OK malty. Has a little tart note, but nothing alarming, perhaps it is a bit too old. Mild bitterness, quite clean finish, nicely malty.
2.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
The bottle looks good, a little bit old. The aroma is sourish, the flavor too. Nevertheless a drinkable and good beer.
3.1 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Quite dark yellow, small head. Malty, fruity and hoppy. Very characteristic flavour, very nice indeed.

The Lure:
Butterscotch and caramel sweetness covers slender herbs and zesty oranges. Pastries, bread, and greasy meat come together to recall hot dogs. Peculiar.
The Festivities:
Superb maltiness with wooden, grassy hop bitterness quietly rising in the finish. The slick mouthfeel is full of malt, which is quite an accomplishment for a vycepni, and is maybe helped by the low carbonation. Tastier than their 12-degree, and a definite knockout for the price (about 0.25$US for a 500ml bottle).
Transcendence:
A fine cloth of silk is a silent pleasure for the skin.
