Bottle thanks to Svans Hćrge. Hazy orange with a medium dense white head. Aroma of fresh leaves, nectar and a little sour mold. Flavor is quite sour, citrus and sour herbs with fresh grassy leavy bitterness and a minor honey sweetness. Might be a bit off

Medved is hoppy dry pilsener with abmer clear color and nice white head. Pleasant, almost ale-ish palate gives it nice finish. Well done beer and from now one of my favourite czech pilseners.

2.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
On tap at Zamecka Konirna in Vrchlabi:
The Lure:
Honey sweetness, raw grain and a little mint battle off the minerals. Peppery citrus fruit babble underneath, but without much consequence.
The Festivities:
Agreeable, slick honeyed malt sweetness is prevalent here, but all remains watery and too easy for my tastes. Very low on the hops, and somewhat boring compared to the kvasnicovy version. A little fizzy in the end, with citrusy tartness, this is a disappointing pils for a Czech brewpub.
Transcendence:
A painting stripped down of some of its best attributes.
