Pure gold is a nice mousse.
Pleasant fruity, resinous hops and malt aroma
Delicious, tart fruit herbal hop flavor, balanced malt sweetness. Classic Czech pils, one of the best, easy-drinking, medium body, good carbonisation.
Long and deep, pleasantly bitter aftertaste

On tap at House of Beers in Krakow. Pours a crystal clear pale golden colored body with an inch thick, creamy and frothy, white head that dissipates slowly and leaves a nice lacing. Aroma is florals and slightly sweet pils malts. Touches of grass and a few fruity notes. Flavor is similar. A light grassiness and floral hopping with a lightly sweetened pils malt backing. A touch of bread and some fruits before this finishes crisp and dry with a moderate bitterness. Fairly lengthy aftertaste following a light body and a moderately active carbonation. Overall, a decent pils. Bitter, lightly sweetened, and balanced. Not bad at all.

Om det höga betyget på det här ölet beror på rådlöshet eller redlöshet faller på ändan utanför mitt kunskapsfält, men jag är beredd att gå under jorden och införliva mig i en motståndsficka för att undergräva denna tyranni som utan urskillning skjuter vilt mot den goda smaken.

Barva: zlatá světlejší. Pěna hustá, krémovitá. Vůně: příjemná hořce chmelová. Chuť: výrazná chmelová hořkost skrytá v plném těle, s dlouhým hořkým dozvukem.

Tap at Hostinec Richtar Jakub. Golden color with thick white head. Malty aroma with bitter hops. Taste, starts malty then bitter hops arrives. Dry hoppy finish. Good.

Tap at Richtar Jakub. Aroma actually not bad, mostly malty, pilsener. Taste lightly soapy and watery, otherwise fine. Clear golden colour. Quite nice finish. Overall good bitterness, but low hop flavour. Good industrial beer.

Bottle sample at a tasting at Ariel’s place. Thanks beerandbeyond.Pours clear darkish golden with white head. Citrus pulp and some sewage and artificial lemonade aroma. Tastes sour, but not in a good way, like lemon juice. Then malty. Light body, fizzy. then a little spicy finish. Some cumin.

Bottle sample at a tasting at Ariel’s place. Thanks beerandbeyond. Clear golden. Aroma of oroblanco pulp, some lemonade notes and something a bit strange that I can’t put my finger on. Flavor starts with a bit of malty sweetness, slightly bready, citric notes and a moderately bitter finish with sourish hints and some grassy notes. Light-medium-bodied. Decent.
