I was searching for suggestions for craft beer online and there are just lists and lists and lists. Now, most of them center on places in the center, which may be good, or may be touristy. At least U tři růží boasts of their own product. There are even some tanks near the bar. Hard to tell if they're in use, though.
It's still excessively summery, so I don't feel too bad about doing without my beloved black beer. In fact, a light ale might really be a pick-me-up. They have a Summer Ale right on the menu, like it's meant to be. There's a soft citrus scent, but the taste is really quite bitter. A little bit of sweet pokes up but mostly stays hidden. It is an energizing beer, with a very lively feel on the tongue. A bit of sour develops in the aftertaste after a few minutes and a few sips, but overall it's a clean-tasting beer, well-suited to a bright and unpleasantly sunny day. Savored from indoors, of course.
I got a salad, since it was going to be a while before supper, and the two complemented each other pretty well. The sourness of the beets and their crisp texture were calmed by the bitterness of the ale, a little surprisingly, and the beer itself lost some sharpness to the salad. I think the Summer Ale might be a little too perky by itself, it really seems to benefit from a pairing with food or a snack. As a conversation beer it could be a little distracting at first. Not bad for a broiling afternoon!
