Fortunately, I tend to forget the beers they review, but I&#39;m sure they linger in some unconscious level or another.Pivní Filosofhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17883511608403454943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5042627331437123482.post-25516329814664029152012-01-18T14:58:11.207+01:002012-01-18T14:58:11.207+01:00That happened to me a few weeks back. Wanted a certain beer, thought I had picked it up, opened, poured it, noticed it was the completely wrong color and then finally really looked at the bottle. D&#39;oh! The beer I picked up I had had before, and enjoyed, but I didn&#39;t enjoy it that time, b/c it wasn&#39;t what I was looking for (queue U2).<br /><br />I definitely believe expectations (via blogs, rating sites, etc) can take away from a beer. I try to limit my beer review readings for that specific reason.davenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5042627331437123482.post-52400085126108315662012-01-18T12:19:31.558+01:002012-01-18T12:19:31.558+01:00I believe I should have mentioned that Sumeček is a Pale Ale...Pivní Filosofhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17883511608403454943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5042627331437123482.post-65812226678092006022012-01-18T11:22:28.722+01:002012-01-18T11:22:28.722+01:00But to my discredit, I swear to you that I couldn&#39;t identify it as &quot;smoked malt&quot; until I saw the label....

I recently moved to Prague, and armed with your wonderful book went to visit the Prague Beer Museum, and they had Sumeček, and it was indeed incredible, but I don&#39;t think they have it always on tap. They have Samurai instead?<br /><br />Where would you enjoy Sumeček on tap?hmemcpyhttp://hmemcpy.myopenid.com/noreply@blogger.com
