Jan 21, 2009 The budvar has a very inviting aroma: First the saaz hops lurks from the glass, then a malty sweetness takes over like a sweet summer breeze from a corn field. Lots of barley to be noticed. After having enjoyed the aroma I turn my eyes to the colour of the beer. It’s a beautiful transparent yellow with a diminishing head. And then follows the first impression of flavour: An aggresive carbonatíon hits me at first, making it hard to actually taste anything. Then a slightly citric bitternes makes it presence, combined with a mellow sweet maltiness, like butter biscuits alongside some floral hoppiness. It is highly thirst arousing and satisfies every dream of a Czech lager.

Jan 21, 2009 As soon as you open the bottle you experience a light fruity aroma. Unlike a lot of Czech lagers, the key character is the malt and not the hop.

Jan 21, 2009 Clear gold colour-bubbly white head. Aroma of malt, metal and cheap hops. Light-bodied; Sweet malt and some funky caramel flavours - not good at all! Aftertaste shows funk and cardboard-no good tastes there either! Overall, overrated - this isn’t worth trying at all! I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Whole Foods in Tyson’s Corner, Virginia on 17-September-2005.

Jan 16, 2009 Updated: Jul 10, 2009500ml glass. Pleasant initial bitterness. Strong yeast and malt notes on the palate and a crisp finish. Light gold with a medium head.

Jan 15, 2009 Bottle. Pours gold with sticky white head. The aroma has a little bit of skunk at first, but that is replaced by lemon zest, hay, and grainy sweetness. The flavor is grain and clover honey with a finish of dry grass. A little bit bland, but ok.

Jan 7, 2009 Updated: Jan 8, 2009This was from a can and not the lame clear bottles. I must say I really enjoyed it without the rank arse ’skunky’ vibes ,which is customary in bottled format: Ok ,it sway less pedestrian or something right now. I found the hops to be more lively and aromatic.. My glass had a floral,spicy -dry palate. The maltiness is juicy ,but subtle. . ! Creamy mouth feel is cool.! Maybe some pineapple ester from the yeast!

Jan 4, 2009 Fairly straightforward Czech lager. Drinkable, but not distinctive. Of all the ones I tried over there, this was about how I remember them tasting. Sort of sweet for the style, but not bad. Golden color and sort of yeasty on the nose. Finishes cleanly.
