Krušovice Mušketýr

draught ... Orange ... light fruity nose ... fizzy fruity hop again ... bit sweet ... not my thing.

Tap @ Plachetnice, Plzen.
Pours dark golden with a frothy, medium, white head. Aroma is a little grainy, weak grassy hops. Rather thin and watery palate. Flavour is okay, subdued malts, but finishes off well with a good dose of dry and bitter hops.

From tap at Plachetnice, Pilsen. Pours clear and golden yellow to orange with a chalkwhite and slowy collapsing white head. Hoppy aroma. Flavour is light caramel malty with a light bitterhops flavour and mild fruity note. Ends dry and bitter, refreshing and smooth.

On tap at Plachetnice, Plzen. Gold, lasting beige head. It’s a clean tasting ok lager, bit of weird fish paste flavour. It’s a pretty good lager, some hop on finish.

On tap at Plachetnice, Plzen. Nice clear orange body, thick white head that went away slowly. A nice hoppy nose with some malty notes. Light sweet honeyish taste, some mineral water character. A bit bitterish and completely unremarkable.

Canned. Golden beer. Malty, full body, fine hoppy zing, too. A bit heavy, perhaps, but a decent beer.

Draft, Cand and bottle: The golden color they speak of is distnctive and the malt body is a bit larger than that of their regular 12 degree but other than the packaging, I could not distinguish andything separate from the normal Kursovice line of products.

500 ml can. Pours a clear amber color with a decent white head. Slight malty aroma. Taste is medium-to-full-bodied, with sweet malt flavor and notable bitterness in the finish. A drinkable pilsner. As a side note, I’ve also tasted this beer off tap in Prague a few years back, and it seemed slightly better then.
