Draft at Vinarna Hrozen during RBESG 2008. A hazy golden beer with a thin beige head. The aroma is sweet with notes of diacethyl and fruits. The flavor is sweet with notes of straw, Saaz hops, and diacethyl. The diacethyl is a drawback for me.

Plastic bottle 500 cl. Hazy golden with a white head. Distinct buttery nose. Medium body with sweet malts and a fairly bitter finish. 270608

From tap at Hrozen. Pours hazy to cloudy with a lacing white head. Butterish and mild malty aroma. Flavour is mild fruity and with a light bitterness following. Less dominant butter in the flavour compared to the aroma. Ends dry and light fruity.

Served from plastic canister at Vinarna Hrozen. Cloudy golden, small head. Concentrated hay aroma. Densely malty with just the right amount of oily butterscotch. Finishes with medium biterness. The superb malt softness in combination with the rich flavours makes this beer a standout amongst Czech pale beers.

Plastic Canister. Slightly hazy golden colour, mediumsized creamy white head. Aroma is diacetyl, toffee and grass in a very nice mix. Flavour is bigtime grass with some diacetyl, malts and yeast lurking in the background. A beautifully balanced brew.

Cloudy golden with medium white head. Sweet aroma with butter, caramel and hoppy notes. Buttery flavor with caramel notes. Ends bitter.

Draught at Vinarna Hrozen, Plzen Hazy pale gold. Thin white head. Diacetyl aroma. OK hoppy lager, but mostly a diacetyl bomb. Flavour has some hop, but overall butter. If you got rid of the butter then it would be pretty good.

Tap @ Vinarna Hrozen, Plzen.
Pours hazy golden with a small, creamy, off-white head. Aroma is sweet, lots of caramel - not good. Thin and watery. Flavour is sweet, light dry hoppiness. Not terribly balanced.
