SamGamgee (592), Santa Cruz, California, USA Dec 20, 2007 Draught at Pivovarsky Klub, Prague. hazy amber with a big white head. Rather fruity aroma with honey and orange and a hint of vinegar. Sweet flavor with low bitterness; melon, honey, candy, peach and nectar. Light body. The flavors seem a little odd to me, but they work out alright. The experience was pretty hectic though, as the 4L tube was overflowing with foam as the waiter brought it to our table yelling, "Glasses! Glasses!" I think we lost about a liter of beer from spilled foam, but he deducted it from the charge. Quack-Duck (1906), Bodensee, Germany Dec 16, 2007 draught at VPT 2007. Dark mahogany colour, perfect creamy and persistent white head. Aroma of caramel. Full-bodied, malty flavours with hints of caramel and toffee, slightly hoppy. Perfectly-balanced vienna, a most convincing polotmavy lezak.
