A: The beer pours a clear golden color with a fizzy white head that displays only mild retention. S: Pretty nice nose to this beer. Some definite corn aromas to it but plenty of bread and malt notes to it as well. Only a hint of hop character which is lightly floral and spicy. T: A solid sweetness to the flavor which is mostly bready in nature and has a hint of toast to it. Mild yeast and corn flavors with minimal hop bitterness and flavor. M: Light to medium in body with a medium level of carbonation. O: It’s been a long time since I’ve had this beer and I was very pleasantly surprised by it. Quite an enjoyable beverage.

A little bit of cocoa in the flavor, otherwise a straightforward lager. Overall, it’s pretty good.

Bohemia clasica??? Made in Mexico, with a native American on it? What chu talkin about Willis? Will the madness never end? You don’t see Blatz putting a picture of a hopped up left-handed anabaptist on it, do you? Whatever happened to the simpler things in life? I can’t believe I worry about stuff like this. In the big scheme of things--I suppose--it doesn’t really matter. Or does it? In any event, it doesn’t taste like the rainwater in the bottom of your garbage can, but it’s certainly not a tasty ambrosia like Blatz, either. So put that in your pipe in smoke it. If I had a refrigerator full of this stuff, I would keep it for my "friends" and keep the Blatz for myself. Think about it!

This stuff just doesn’t travel well. I was shocked when I tried it in Mexico at just how fresh and hoppy it is. It would also be hard to overstate just how much of it I drank while there because most of the beer is just so bland - this is not that. Pale golden pour with a thick white head. Spicy noble hop aroma - floral and zesty and very well-balanced. Moderate bitterness but the hops are quite fresh and aromatic. Really damn tasty with a plate of tacos.

Bottle; slightly hazy yellow with small white head; aroma-malt, citrus. Very mild but more than most pale lager; taste-no sweetness, mild bitter. I really should skip all pale lagers-waste of calories and stomach room.

The beer is very clear and light gold, but it has a nice think and lasting white head. Unlike any mexican beer I’ve ever had this actually some an aroma to it. There are some nice hops like a true pilsner. The taste is light and hoppy with wheat, nothing special but not bad. Mouthfeel is nice but light, and this is drinkable. I’d never have this to have it in US, but I would recommend searching this out in Mexico.

330 ml bottle, as Bohemia Clásica, now available in Norway. ABV is 4.8%. Ingredients include maize (corn), rice and ascorbic acid (vitamin C). Pale golden colour, slightly hazy, moderate white head. "Dusty" and uninteresting aroma. The flavour has at least a hint of hops, so it could be said to be more interesting than Corona and Sol. Refreshing on a hot day.

Gold with light, dissipating head / Nose of honey and grain / Medium body, creamy with modest carbonation, and good balance and finish / Appealing flavors of clover honey, grass, and grain / A solid pale lager.
