75 cl bottle at Hopheads´ fourth tasting - in my garage. Bought at Řlkonsortiet, Aalborg. Slightly hazy dark golden color, big off-white head. Aroma is grassy, fruity and hoppy in a moderate way. Flavor is moderate fruity, hoppy and malty with a hint of sourness. Dry finish. Nice pilsener!

at EBF. Murky golden with small light beige head. Sourish, little vinous aroma with mild soy sauce. Tartish murky flavor with raspberry, grassy hops, wood and herbs. Low carbonation, a bit watery palate. De Molen makes them strange.

Bottle (EBF2008)
I was asked not to review this as it was the dregs of the bottle, and wouldn’t show the beer at its best, but it was just so tasty I have to come here and bump its average _up_. Fruity aroma. Soft palate, aided by the yeastiness. Tangy fruity hops sit above a gently yeasty malty body. Long hoppy finish. If this was the beer not at its prime, this will be storming fresh. (However, the yeast component was a positive contribution, as I mentioned before.) Should rerate.

[Sampled at DŘE-festival with Helga, Sřren and Anne, Ĺrhus 2008.] Golden with nice white head. Notes of grass, fruits, grapes, malt, some hops and a true czech style.

Bottled at Monk’s Café, Stockholm. Clear golden, rich creamy head. Interesting aroma with buttery grainy malt and grassy spicy hops. Medium sweet with dense rouned mouthfeel. The grainy malt combines well with pilsnerish hay-like hoppiness. Finishes with balanced but marked bitterness. A well made enjoyable beer along the line of Czech 14° lagers.

Hazy pale golden body, white head, Very grainy nose with a little hop touch; Bitter malty body that lacks some freshness; Lots of bitterness in finish, aromas are good but definitely not great.

Bottled (from Cracked Kettle). Golden colour, huge white foamy/fluffy head. Aroma is malts, some grassy hops and mild notes of hayishness. Flavour is honey, malts, grassy hops as well as some mild yeastyness. As it warms up, the malts get abit sweeter.
