You guys are all on drugs. My fellow tasters my have chastised this Czech Pils,but personally I found this to be a fine lager.More close to Bittburger than Urquel. Its because of how bready it is. I like that.Hops are leafty and spicy. Some honey and graininess. Pretty flavoursome

2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20

2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
UPDATED: AUG 8, 2009 500ml bottle from Waitrose. Best before June 2009. Mid gold colour. Not much head. Some biscuity malt throughout. Touch of cardboard in the aroma. Not much hop character in evidence. So-so. I agree with bhensonb that this did seemed rather different to the Staropramen 12 (better). Perhaps the same as the Vratislav available in Tesco but who knows.
2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Golden with a small white head. Grainy malt and straw aroma. Sweet grainy malt flavour with a hint of grassy hops and a decent bitter finish
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Bottled. Yellowish golden colour, small white head, Aroma is quite much grass and earth along with some mild sweet touches to it. Flavour is quite much the same,
2.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
bottle, from Waitrose Sidmouth. Clear golden colour, white head. Malty, medium-bodied with shy hints of apple and a touch of cheap-ish hops. All right, but not really convincing. Good malty body, but the hops let it down tremendously.
