Herold Granat

Brewed by Pivovar Herold
Style: Vienna
Breznice, Czech Republic

Deep red-purple with a tan cream. Sappy, well-toasted and toffee malts are set against grassy, lightly citric hops. Strong toffee flavors dry into toast and light roast before a moderate bitterness and cola acidity; bright and citric aftertaste. High, fine carbonation on a slick and slightly thick body.

Balanced and enjoyable though it feels a bit compressed, muted, at times.

50 cl bottle, best before 03 June 2009.

Reddish copper brown colour. Beige head. Mild nose. Malty and toffeish taste with some hints of burnt sugar and roasted malt. Also some hints of bluecheese in the taste. A 0.5L bottle from Alko shops.

500 ml bottle. Amber color, off-white head. Sweet malty aroma. Bitter-sweet taste of floral hops with dark syrupy notes. High carbonation. Not a personal favorite.
