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...

Bottle from wee local shop cons 2011-01-11 Göteborg AR: hops, white bread, pilsner, pleasent aromas more celler after being poured and corn AP: hazy dirty yellow colored body, 2 cm semi thick head - diminishing F: watery feeling, quite strong bitternes, hops, citrus, loaded with carbonation. The finish is long and bitter.

500ml Bottle (Thanks Svesse) - Golden with a white head. Malty and grainy aroma. Malty and slightly sweet taste with grain, hops and corn detected.

Bottle, 50cl - Pale golden colored beer. Aroma is malty with notes of toasted white bread and grass. Flavor is malty with notes of caramel and toasted white bread. Very weird feel to it.

<i>Bottle (50 cl) from ICA in Söderbärke, Sweden</i> Clear golden, medium white head. Honeyish and stale malt aroma with notes of green apples. Thin and watery. Sweet with low bitterness. Really a poor effort. Diluted?

(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
