Commercial Description:
Also known as Brou Czech Lager

6 km far from Nova Paka, there is a ruin of the Kumburk Castle, which was built in the early 14th century by the Markvartic family. The castle was reconstructed from time to time by various owners. In the Thirty Years War, it was devastated by the Swedes and in 1658 it was destroyed at the bidding of Emperor Leopold. The caste used to be the favourite destination of poet K. H. Macha. Kumburak is a pale lager with rich taste with velvety foam, alcohol 5%.

One of the best beers I have tasted. Too strong for some people’s taste. Inexpensive at Trader Joe’s.

Amusingly, my label says ’99 cents’ in big lettering! That’s a great deal for a beer as tasty as this. Very malty with that Czech lager flavor in abundance. The hops are just strong enough to balance the malt (if that). I think this is a sensational beer - one that I would be happy drinking again and again. Very good stuff! A bit crisp with an amazing aroma.

Clear gold with some minute specks. Sticky and foamy white head. Thrusting carbonation. Light pilsner malt aroma, floral hops and tobacco? Crisp and clean with a subtle but thick malt flavor. Spicy/floral hop mix and a tinge of Beechwood smokiness. Nice body, fresh taste and jumping spiciness. Light metallic hard water edge. Finishes malty sweet yet well balanced. Aged in Beechwood? A very nice quality pils for the value.

Large bottle, from the former Boss: Pours wonderful golden brown with thin creamy head and pretty lacing. Lots of hops aroma, nicely balanced flavors of malt up front with a gentle crisp hops finish. Nice to unwind with after a nasty hot summer day.

Bottle says Brouczech with a label that looks like a brewery but I guess it’s the same beer. Appears light amber color, medium carbonation. Taste is slightly bitter and smoked. Roasted malts, burned pecans? with a slight hint of sweetness. Interesting. Nice hop flavor but faint aftertaste. Next time I’ll try this with a steak. Better than many other pilsners.

I actually really enjoyed this one. Bronze body with a large white head, decent lacing and retention. Aroma is fresh grassy hops with light buttery bready malts. Lighter body with a good balance between bitterness and sweetness, keeping a somewhat buttery mouthfeel. One of my most overrated beers?

Bottle. High fluffy and lasting white head. Clear golden body. Mild barley malt aroma. Peppery malt flavor with a bit of caramel, high carbonation and a nice shot of hops bitterness. Long aftertaste.
