Pale in color, pal in flavour, still refreshing. Dry without being bitter, but I don't really see that as an advantage. Pretty ordinary lager.

Keg. Golden color, thick generous head. Simple pilsner.

Golden color with a white head. The taste is sweet and malty with a balanced body and light bitter finish.

(BBE 1/08) Dark yellow colored, little yellow head. Rather thin aroma with butter, grass, sweetness and lemon. Thin to medium bodied. Flavor is more buttery and cardboardy with still some biting grass and lemon. Aftertaste turns to watery with still cardboard, though this is one of my favorite styles, this is not too good.

On tap, Prague. Clear golden with generally a huge frothy white head. Little aroma and somewhat watery flavor, but not offensive. Not much bite, but unbalanced towards hops over fruit. If you’re in the Czech Republic, a decent cheap beer, blowing US brands out of the water, but not worth import price tags in other countries.

Bottle. Clear yellowy gold with a thin white head. Hop nose with some dullness, not sweet, just dull. Mouth is much the same, the hops attack initially, but then leave a dull, dusty mouth, slightly sweet, but nondescript. Overly fizzy with some herby aftertaste, but again, mixed herbs, not standing out. Bit dull, but it was alright. Easy to drink, I guess.

Bottle. Medium head with medium duration. Color is golden. Aroma and taste are malt and hops. Some notes of straw.

Honungsfärgad dryck med ett vitt, snabbt försvinnande skum. Doftar gräs och aningen av smörkola. Smak aningen vattnig, men "växer" för varje klunk. Till slut rätt god, med inslag av skumbanan och lime.

Gyllene ljus gul, stort vitt skum av små bubblor som stannar en stund. Doft: Gräs, surdegsbröd och kompost hink. Smak: Avslagen cola, milda sommar äpplen, tutti frutti.

Compact and creamy foam, optimal duration. Limpid and clear, discreetly bubbly color. Discreet aspect. Little decided scent and light. Fresh taste, good bitter but lightly watery. Fading finish.
