This child is destined to shine bright in its own gilded amber light. We pumped up the hop aromatics, so this brew baby’s hoppier than both GPL and MTR, but not at the expense of drinkability. Rather than bitterness on the palate, these amped up hops hit home in the form of a fragrant floral bouquet gusting in on a Saaz sea breeze. To emulate the low-mineral aquifers in the Czech region (and avoid any disgrace), we treated the water to make sure you’re treated to the cushiony quaff you’d expect from the style.

Poured from a howler purchased at Collective and tested next with can,
Appearance - Pours a chestnut brown with three fingers of bubbly tan head.
Smell - earthy, and spicy floral saaz hops, nutty aromas, dark fruit aromas (plum, fig, raisin), caramel, bready malts, and earthy yeast.
Taste - earthy, and spicy floral saaz hops upfront. The nutty aromas alongside the dark fruit aromas (plum, fig, rasin) come through next. The caramel, bready malts, and earthy yeast finish off the brew.
Mouthfeel - Medium bodied with light to moderate carbonation. Finishes sitcky and bitter from the hops with the nutty and dark fruit notes lingering as well.
Overall - A crushable and easy drinker that is full of flavour and pays homage to the Czech roots. I could see this being a true "autumn beer" here in Cowtown!
