from the past

It had come to my attention that there just wasn't much Czech beer to be had in Madrid.  I went to my nearest beer stores and the closest I came was a Slovak beer, except for this Krušovice. It's one of the "industrial" beers, one you can find in plenty of places around the Czech Republic.  That seems to be the reason it's available here; other beers just don't travel very well and by the time they get to Madrid, they aren't in the best of states.  So, another trip down memory lane.
 It smells like beer, sort of sour and prickly.  There's good color and good head.  The taste is mildly sweet, just a touch of sour underneath.  It's an unintrusive light taste, reminiscent of summer and evening conversation.  After a while there's a funny sweetish aftertaste hanging around on the back of the tongue, but it's not too unpleasant or distracting.  It's just a solid example of what we normally consider beer.
