I had this in the 16oz can and would like to find it on tap, might have a better body. Clear gold, decent taste compared to the American BUD standard. Small white head, kind of plane really. Better than regular BUD.

Aroma is a bit unimpressive, as is the taste. But it is clean, refreshing. Mouthfeel is nice if only a little watery.

Not to be confused with Budweiser, this is a great beer. Rated it amongst the best at my one trip to BEERTOPIA.

My bottle doesn’t look like the picture, it just says Czechvar, "premium czech lager." An amber beer with a small white head that disappears quickly. Aroma is light malt and maybe some corn or other grains. Taste is thin, some vague maltiness and then a finish like water. I was under the impression that this is supposed to be good beer, but is only slightly better than any other mainstream European lager. Perhaps they save the good stuff for Europe and send watery crap to America?

tap at san diego brewing co - Pours clear golden with a thin white head. It smells of sweet pale malts and some mild hops. It’s light and easy drinking without being terribly watery. This mildly hopped session brew isn’t great, but it’s a damn sight better than another "Budweiser" we all know.

Poured from can. Beautiful rich golden color with a modest head. Smells of sweet grains; very pleasant. Sweet up front, then you taste the hops. Great finish. Obviously, this beer puts American Budweiser to shame.

Difficult to give an accurate description of the beer fresh out of the liquor store; as this was cellared for close to two years before I got to it. Pours golden with a loose white head. Contains flecks like a trappist beer but that may be due to age. Sweet, fruity malts with grains blended in nicely. Lightly hopped. Thick, creamy palate is the way that a lager should taste.

12 oz. bottle, pours a clear gold body with white head. Aroma is malty and grainy. Flavor is the same with a light crisp malt finish. Slight carbonation on the tongue. Somewhat sticky aftertaste.
