330ml bottle.
Rich orange, no head. Fairly bland aroma - malty, sweet, and a bit boozy. Pretty good full-bodied sticky body, but some astringent hops. Taste a little boozy after it warms a little. However, not bad for 6.3%.

bottled. pretty good for a czech strong lager in that it just seemed like a normal czech lager. light vanilla aroma, golden colour, quite smooth but without any really distinct flavour and a lightly bitter finish
2.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Bottled at Pivovarsky Klub, Prague. Clear golden, small head. Fruity and somewhat ashy. Sweet and juicy with medium body. An excess of sweet malt makes it a bit syrupy. Despite a quite bitter finish it would have needed more hops to balance it fully.

2.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20

Golden color, small white head. Papery malty aroma. Medium-bodied. Quite sweet, soft palate. Sweety bock-like flavor. Nothing special, although it is drinkable.
2.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 6/20
Shoot, just when you think you found a winner - Poured with small to medium sized, cream colored head that mostly fades quickly and a little lace. Color is a clear polished brass. Aroma is sweet malt and a little hop. Flavor, except for one massive exception, is not like the usual Euro strong lager: enough hops & carbonation to balance the sweetness. The exception is in my face metallic flavor. Totally dominates all else. Body is decent and so is carbonation. Finish is like flavor and therefore a dumper.
