The bottle looks good, the beer in the glass also. Sourish aroma. Starts hoppy, abit sourish-moldy. Grasy-earthy notes follow. Finish a bit too moldy and boring. Not my favourite.

(draught, at the brewpub) hazy golden-orange colour with a creamy white head. aroma of fruity diacetyl, wheat and peanuts. flavour is the same, with a hint of peach and grass. smooth texture with a slightly watery finish.

(tap at Zly Casy, Praha) A dark golden beer with mediumthick foam. An aroma with some hops and some diacetyle. Has a malty sweet taste with a medium palate. Not much aftertaste, just some bitterness.

Draught at the brewpub. Weak fruity flavour. Hazy yellow colour. Nice stable white head. The flavour is also fruity, medium bitterness.

On tap. Clear golden with a frothy off-white head leaving laces. Clean, sweet and very malty nose. Medium body, very sweet malts, a little low in carbonation, a whiff of yeast and a fairly dry finish. Lovely and very refreshing. 270608

[on tap at brewpub] Sulfury and spicy base malt aroma with very fresh hops. Almost clear dark straw with a lasting, frothy cover. Nice, almost crisp, base malt flavour with assertive hops bitterness and less hops flavour than amoa may suggest. Some peppery/spicy flavour that doesn’t seem to work for me in this beer. Medium body, moderate carbonation, clean finish.

Draught at the brewpub:Golden, slightly hazy, smaller loose white head; distinctive herbal hoppy nose, supported by sweet pale malt and bread and yeast in the background; moderate bitter-sweet flavour; lingering dry, herbal-hoppy finish. Not bad, but a bit unbalanced........

(6/23/08) Draught at Zlý Casy in Prague. Slightly hazy, but almost clear golden with a white head. Aroma of malt, honey notes, a bit of grains and some hoppy notes. Sweet malt flavor with caramel notes and a mild bitter finish with hops and a bit of grassy and spicy hints. Medium-bodied. 6/3/6/3/13=3.1
(6/27/08) Draught at the brewpub in Plzen. Slightly hazy golden with a medium, quickly-diminishing, beige head. Aroma of yeast and some grassy hoppiness. Flavor starts a bit sweetish with some bready notes and finishes with a pleasant hoppy bitterness. Medium-bodied. Nice. 6/3/7/3/13=3.2

(Draught) Pours golden to light amber. The aroma is light to medium sweet with tones of light caramel, bread, straw and herbal/grassy hops. Light floral and earthy undertones. The flavour is light sweet and medium bitter with some bready tones alongside grassy and herbal hops. The mouthfeel is clean, light dry and medium crisp. Medium bodied.

On tap @ Purkmistr brewpub. Semi clear and golden in colour with a mediuim sized head. Quite well balanced with notes of grain, hay, metal, bread, and hops.
