Two goats steam. The second approach. "Velkopopovitsky goat": history, manufacturer and reviews about Czech beer

02.08.2019

As soon as a licensed dark "Velkopopovitsky goat" appeared in Russia, I immediately spent. Before, just at that time came from the Czech Republic and brought with both the original "goat". I did not find any serious differences at that time, about everything with a great joy and reported. But more than two years have passed and more and more and more often hear that the Kaluga "goat" flew out. In fact, so always speak after some time, after the new brand of beer is coming. And often (but not always) people are right. So I decided to re-hold a comparative tasting.

I bought a Czech dark "goat", bought Kaluga, came to the kitchen to his wife and said:

- Tanya, here are two almost the same circles (different drawing). I pour me into one beer from this bottle, and to another of this.

Turned around and honestly left the kitchen. I waited for a call of my wife (nice when the wife calls to drink beer 🙂), returned.

I looked, I snapped, I tried and ... and I defined almost immediately. The Kaluga smells from Kaluga, and this is welded by caring Czech brewers. There is a difference!

Color - Czech dark and rich, our light.

Foam is an absolutely identical one.

Aroma - and there and there resembles broth from dried mushrooms. But the Czech mushroom fragrance is as stronger. In our same CO2 /

Taste - Czech is more rich and sweeter (caramel-iris). The domestic is strongly felt all the same CO2 and the taste is more blunt, watery and lemonade.

Postwalls - Kaluga, oddly enough, more hop and more bitter, while Czech is straightforwards. By the way, as part of Czech, the E954 sweetener (Sakharin) is indicated. It's to the quality of our and imported beer. Although they can simply indicate it on the label, because The law permits not to indicate in the ingredients less than a percentage. But nonetheless.

The difference is in alcohol. Our 3.2% at 9.55 density, and Czech 3.8%.

Summary. If you try the beer separately, then the difference is not so strong to notice (such as StaroPrame or Lösenbrey). In the comparative tasting, this difference is already felt and not in favor of our. But it says that the Kaluga "goat" and Czech is the sky and the earth - not correct.

Tanya, a lover of dark beer, previously bought the Kaluga "goat". I asked her why she no longer buys him (and even Czech was not to drink). She replied - "Yes, well, mushroom soup Some kind! "
