PTT from the first bag / PTT z první tašky

(Google translate from Czech)

Zkratka. Takových zkratek „běhá“ po světě mnoho. Bez vysvětlení vlastně nic neříká. Ale protože to píšu pro #BeerSaturday od @detlev, tuší mnozí z vás, že to bude mít něco společného s pivem :-).

Abbreviation. There are many such abbreviations "running" around the world. Without explanation, it doesn't really mean anything. But since I'm writing this for #BeerSaturday by @detlev, many of you probably suspect that it will have something to do with beer :-).

Jak spousta z vás ví, trávím hodně času za volantem. Často jezdívám kolem různých pivovarů, ale méně často mám čas a možnost zastavit a koupit si nějaký „vzorek“ piva.
Je to však asi 14 dnů, co jsem měl poslední zastávku v malebném městě Telč v kraji Vysočina.
Považte! Jsou zde tři řemeslné pivovary! A já měl čas jen na jeden :-/.

Vybral jsem si ten mimo hlavní cestu, kde byla šance odstavit náklaďák aby nepřekážel.
PTT neboli Pivovar Trojan Telč.

As many of you know, I spend a lot of time behind the wheel. I often drive past various breweries, but less often I have the time and opportunity to stop and buy a "sample" of beer.
However, it's been about 14 days since my last stop in the picturesque town of Telč in the Vysočina region.
Think about it! There are three craft breweries here! And I only had time for one :-/.

I chose the one off the main road, where there was a chance to park the truck so it wouldn't get in the way.
PTT or Pivovar (brewery) Trojan Telč.

Nesměle jsem vešel do výčepu, zvědavě se rozhlédl a ještě nesměleji požádal obsluhu o vše, co mají v lahvích. Bylo toho sedm „kousků“.

I timidly entered the bar, looked around curiously and even timidly asked the waiter for everything they had in the bottles. There were seven "pieces".

Ještě dnes nemám dopito :-).
Takže zatím malá recenze na tři piva z produkce PTT.

I still haven't finished my drink today :-).
So for now, a small review of three beers produced by PTT.

Sotto Zero
Svrchně kvašené nealkoholické pivo, které barvou vzdáleně připomíná Hazy IPA.

Sotto Zero
A top-fermented non-alcoholic beer, which in color vaguely resembles Hazy IPA.

Tuším, že udělat opravdu dobré nealko je nelehká věc. Koupit si takové pivo je tak „sázka do loterie“.
Vsadil jsem si a nevyhrál.

Vůní to připomínalo džus z tropického ovoce. V chuti vlastně také. Sladké s trochou ovocné kyselosti, velmi sycené. Po hořkosti chmele však není ani památky.
Netvrdím, že je to vyloženě špatné „pivo“. Jedno ochutnání mi však stačí minimálně do mého odchodu do důchodu.

I guess making a really good non-alcoholic beer is not an easy thing. Buying such a beer is like "taking a lottery bet".
I bet and didn't win.

The smell reminded me of tropical fruit juice. The taste actually did the same. Sweet with a bit of fruity acidity, very carbonated. However, there is no trace of the bitterness of hops.
I'm not saying that it's a bad "beer". However, one taste is enough for me at least until I retire.

Letní desítka
Podle popisu světlé výčepní pivo se 4% alkoholu

Summer Ten
According to the description, a light draft beer with 4% alcohol

Překvapila mě vůně citrusů, kterou bych v „české desítce“ opravdu nečekal. Sládek asi popustil uzdu své fantazii a inspiroval se někde v cizině. Podle chuti v tomto pivu na 80% není česká odrůda chmele. Typoval bych to spíše na Mosaic nebo ještě něco jiného.
Dalo se to pít, ale nenadchlo.

I was surprised by the citrus aroma, which I really wouldn't have expected in a "Czech Ten". The brewer probably let his imagination run wild and got his inspiration from somewhere abroad. Judging by the taste, this beer is 80% non-Czech hop variety. I would rather call it Mosaic or something else.
It was drinkable, but not exciting.

Zatím posledním pivem v tomto testu byla
Lekárníkova 11 Na stojáka

So far, the last beer in this test was
Lekárníkova 11 on a stand

Přes vůni chmele byl cítit i závan alkoholu. V chuti trochu hořkosti na patře a na jazyku špetka jablek a sladu. To celé se zrnkem soli. Trochu jsem si připadal, jako bych si omylem nalil do sklenice nějakou medicínu proti nachlazení. Tuší někdo jak chutnají Hoffmanské kapky? Já ne. Ale podíval jsem se do Googlu a zjistil, že hlavní složkou je etanol a éter.
Další pivo, které se dá pít, ale už si ho nekoupím.

Amidst the aroma of hops, there was also a whiff of alcohol. The taste was a bit bitter on the palate and a pinch of apples and malt on the tongue. All this with a grain of salt. I felt a bit like I had accidentally poured some cold medicine into a glass. Does anyone know what Hoffman's drops taste like? I don't. But I looked on Google and found that the main ingredient is ethanol and ether.
Another beer that is drinkable, but I will not buy it again.

Tak nevím, jestli mám divné chutě, nebo jsem natrefil na nepovedené vzorky. Je to poprvé, co jsem si na řemeslných pivech moc nepochutnal.
Snad budou ostatní vzorky něčím „přitažlivější“.
Tím nechci tvrdit, že v PTT vaří špatné pivo. Jen mi to prostě nesedlo.

Pokračování asi za týden, až dopiju poslední vzorek.

So I don't know if I have strange tastes, or if I came across some bad samples. This is the first time that I have not enjoyed craft beers very much.
Hopefully the other samples will be somewhat more "appealing".
I don't mean to say that PTT brews bad beer. I just didn't like it.

To be continued in about a week, when I finish the last sample.

In your area, it seems like there are several breweries though it's only 3 in this particular city. But the alcohol percentage of this particular beer is very low.

There are about thirty craft breweries within my "reach". There are about 400 craft breweries in our entire country. And another twenty or so industrial breweries.
Here, anyone interested always has something to taste and write about :-).

4 to 5% alcohol is sufficient for lagers and draft beers. Besides, I don't need to get drunk :-).

Thank you for reading and commenting.

Ahh, 400? Wow, here, it's only about 4 and here in my locality, it's only one which you can't just walk into freely. Please enjoy your varieties of beer

I'm gradually trying to taste everything I can get my hands on :-)

Pro mě je PTT "Push To Talk" 🤣

Na zdraví 🍺

Jestli je to, že se u piva více "kecá", tak to by šlo :-)

Hi @bucipuci, it was interesting to read your review about this experience, I didn't know you drove so much, I hope next time you have a better palate experience.

bucipuci 27 days ago

If you think I drank those three beers in one evening, I didn't. One beer a night is enough for me :-).
The other beers I'll write about, I liked much better. I think my taste buds are fine :-).
Thanks for reading and have a great weekend.

Hehehe yes @bucipuci, actually that's what I thought, I was a little worried since you then had to drive, it's a relief to know that wasn't the case.

Happy weekend, have nice travels.

When I drive, I don't drink. In our country, according to the law, there is zero tolerance for alcohol behind the wheel. I only have Friday and Saturday nights for tastings :-).

I wish the law existed and was enforced in my country.

Here people are champions driving with drinks on them, even with bottles in hand, that has never seemed right to me but my family and I are the exception in some things.

That must be quite a "wilderness" on your roads sometimes.
A European wouldn't be able to handle it.

We Latinos are wild on the concrete, relaxed.

😆🤣🙈

Today I'm going to participate with a beer post, let's see how I do. 😜

:-D

I'd love to read it.
