Hi , I have read most of the reviews for this wonderful beer, Most reviews incorrectly refer to it as a Pilsner. It is not! It is a Bohemian Lager from Budweis. It is the origanal Budwiser Beer. I know alot of you think that Budvar/ Czechvar is but here is the Skinny. Budweiser Burgerbrau founded 1795 and first Brewed Budweiser in Budweis in 1802. AB Budweiser first brewed in St Louis in1876 then Budvar / Czechvar 1895! They were the last kid on the Block. But the beer it self is dark golden with light carbonation a perfect balance of malt and hop ( Not as many IBUs as a pilsner ) . Its a classic Bohemian Lager and the insperation for the American style ( But I think the yanks got it wrong! ) Also this is a Independent brewery that brews in the traditional manner, four ingrediants natural fermentation and sixty days lagering the way it was done 200 years ago. I mention this as this practice has become rare. Most European brewerys are owned by large brewing cartels that care more about bottom line profits not tradition. Most european lagers are know High gravity brews that are watered down after fermentation, lagering has been cut down dramaticly to a few weeks not the old standard of 60 days. And this is still brewed in Budweis! lots of beers have lost there tradtional homes and are being brewed elsewhere , Boddingtons ,Pilsner Urquel , Hoegarten etc because of cheaper labour! Sorry to go off in a tangent about this but open up a Budweiser Burgerbrau and the now popular Stella. The BB will knock the spots of it. .....................Hats off to a world classic Budweiser Burgerbrau, still brewed as it was in Budweis, and independent from the big brewing cartels....A classic example!!

Draft at Capital Ale House. I’m about 99% certain this is the right beer, as it is the only Czech Burgerbrau I could find. Fresh, just tapped, this was an amazing beer. Medium gold, hint of bronze, pillow head. Soft floral nose. Unbelievably soft malts, silky smooth palate. Light floral and spice finish. This was a spectacular, yet subtle beer. I don’t think it would have a prayer in a bottle.

tap at pivoarsky klub. pours a bright orange with a foamy white head. aroma of bright, floral, juicy herbal green tea. taste of doughy wet grass and earthy, musty hay. solid. clean. great fresh on tap.

US import: Lightly hazy orange-yellow with a thin white head. Deep yeast and malt aroma. Rich and malty, this has a nice little Saazy swirl to go with it. Excellent poster child for the style. Would go excellent with any richly gravied central European entree.

Bottle. I shared it last night with Maibockaddict and it was off maybe bad bottle. Tonight I tried it it was a totally different beer. Golden yellow in color with a nice head. Hoppy malty aroma. Very hoppy. Saaz? Hoppy malty flavor. Light, crisp and refreshing. Well balanced. Hoppy finish. Decent beer.

UPDATED: AUG 25, 2012 cooked vegetables, basement aromas, floral, bread, golden, rocky head, medium sweetness, very bitter, creamy, medium body, bitter, long finish,

Piwko spoko, łatwo wchodzi i jest ok. Mimo mojego komentarza że tylko Polskie tro mi bardzo smakuje. Pozdrawiam wszystkich z Polski a szczególnie z Wrocławia.

Draft, Baja Bean, Staunton VA. Light gold color with white head. Somewhat sour malty nose, like applejuice, with floral and citrus notes as well. Flavor was smooth light malt, very fresh tasting, with a hint of fruity/juicy sourness and a pleasantly light finish. Very tasty.

From tap in Prague. Smooth, thoroughly enjoyable refreshing drink with thick head. Neutral taste with a subtle bitterness. To be drunk in large quantities to accompany a traditional Czech meal.

Bottle 0,5ltr bought in Karlovy Vary, Czech Rep: This is one of the better Bohemians very well balanced golden Pilsener with great medium bitternish.
