Mar 26, 2006 Updated: Sep 11, 2007I think this was labelled as a 12, but it was also the amber. It is one of the several pleasant Viennas I found in the Czech Republic; a style I previously detested. This beer looks like a dark hefeweizen. It is orange and cloudy. Think head. Some sourness in the flavor, and very drinkable.

Mar 6, 2006 Big, offwhite creamy head ovver hazy amber body. Looks absolutely delicious. Light, sweetish caramelly aroma. Deep, resiny, pineish taste with a dry spicy aftertaste. Some acidity. Lovely! A great beer.

Feb 28, 2006 On tap at the brewery: Hazy, copper coloured, firm, lacing off-white to beige head; fruity and yeasty aroma with distinctive traces of floral hops; stronger bitter, dry flavour, soft mouthfeel instead; lingering, floral hoppy finish with a tinge of yeast. Good stuff for hoppy people...................

Aug 7, 2005 Updated: Mar 24, 2008First experience on tap at the brewpub, in 2005:
The Lure:
A towering, compact head on which sit flowery, fruity esters, reminiscent of a Belgian yeast strain. Oranges and a hoppiness which is different from the usual Saaz use the Czechs are known for.
The Festivities:
Green, herbal hop leaves float in a light, big-bubbled body. Finish is soft and quite quenching, as able malts show up to compliment the dryness. 3.4/5
Transcendence:
From a different plumage, the same notes may be chirped.
Second tap experience, in 2008:
This time around, the Jantar was extremely well hopped making it very Pilsener-like and its rocky mammoth head of foam could not have been more alluring (think De Dolle). A very solid quencher! 3.8/5

Oct 15, 2004 Updated: Oct 16, 2004Tap@Klasterni, Prague. Slightly hazy amber appearance. Nice peachy/apricoty fruit and also a little bit floral, ever so slightly honeyed. Very bitter and dry, with a nice soft mouthfeel, really lovely stuff.

Aug 16, 2004 (on tap at the brewpub) Herbal, floral and hoppy aroma. Clear, amber coloured with a thin, lasting and off-white head. Taste is hoppy, bitter and floral. Can’t be too excited about this one. Good palate though.

Aug 9, 2004 Draught at the brewpub.
Cloudy amber/orange colour, creamy head. Rich flowery hop flavour, somewhat herbal. Saazy, without being buttery. Chewy. Big balanced bitterness.
