(Bottle) Pale golden colour with brief, frothy, white head. Malty, grassy nose with toffee, bread and grassy hops. Malty, grassy taste with toffee, white bread, hay and grassy hops in a short finish. Thin body, balanced malty sweetness. Tasty but too thin 3,5% lager.

Bottled. A hazy yellow beer with a thin off-white head. The aroma is sweet with primary notes of straw, but also light notes of caramel. The flavor is sweet malty with light notes of metal. And the body is thin.

Bottled. Golden with a white head. Metallic and bready aroma. Bready flavour with cardboard-notes.Pretty thin, but with some late bitterness.

Bottle, 3.5%.A thin beer with weak bitterness. A bit of apple flavour. Not very Czech.

(Bottle 50 cl) Clear, pale golden with a creamy, white head. Unpleasant butter aroma. Light and watery body with weak accents of malt. Almost no bitterness. 261006

Purchased in a small convinient store in Stockholm.
The 50 cl bottle is marked "Gold Bohemia Beer 3.5" but in small font on the bottom of the label it sais "Min 2.8% Alc" which I assume is correct. Also labeled to be from Nymburk Brewery.

Clear golden color, big white head.
Stale sweet unpleasant scent, my first comment was actually something like "uew" and I quickly withdrew my nose from the glass...
Taste is ecen worse! Old stale terrible flat thin faintly sweet flavor.
I guess this one will go down the drain (it did).
Pretty much no bitterness. Very thin body.
All in all, the beer looks good, but the rest is pretty much total crap.
I guess it’s oxidiced, UV-damaged extreme or something, they can’t sell this beer like this and think people will actually ever buy it again...

Rerate
Found a 50 cl bottle at ICA in Söderbärke and felt I had to try it again and see if it was as horrible as the first time
Marked 2.8% and also 3.5 without % - confused

Almost clear pale straw yellow color with small particles (alarms going off). Small white head. Corn, sweet, applesauce, rotten hay scent. Thin, dry, metallic, apple peel, bitter taste. Thin mouthfeel, low bitterness. Quite pointless, though my first rating was probably of an infected bottle. However, this is bad enough that I won’t ever try it in Sweden again, hopefully...

Watered down version of "Old Bohemia Beer" for Swedish market. It looks quite good having typical deep golden "bohemian" color. The head is OK as well. But it tastes like bloody Swedish low-alcohol pale lagers. Some aromatic hops, but, sorry - who ordered this combination?
