What an amazing and fantastic beer. Hildigöltur (5056), Křbenhavn Ř, Denmark Jan 31, 2008 Draught at Koutland, Pilsen. Hazy golden coloured. This has all of the nice aromas and flavours as the filtered version, but with a fruity and slightly yeasty touch. The lack of filtration also makes it slightly softer. A fantastic beer, but the cleaner filtered version is even better. motelpogo (4124), Plzen, Czech Republic Jul 17, 2007 on tap at koutland. for quite a while i couldn’t get too excited about this beer which was quite odd considering how obsessed i’ve become with kvasnicovy beers and with kout beers. anyways, i think it must have improved appreciably. the first few kegs of this had a decent saaz nose but quite an overwhelming sourdough character which dulled the juicy bitterness of the filtered 12ká. anzways, a balance seems to have been found and this is ripe and pungent with traces of pineapple, lemon zest and a big saaz kick that, as with the other kout beers, reminds me just how little saaz character a lot of czech beers have these days. omhper (10728), Stockholm, Sweden Jul 3, 2008 Draught at Koutland (3 consecutive nights!) Hazy golden, small head. Buttery nose with lots of grass. Freshly hoppy with hay and orange. Light-medium bodied with a crisp, vital malt profile, Long bitter finish. A superb drinking beer!
