1.4 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 6/20
Canned(500ml). -Brewed by Daruvarska Pivovara for Billa Croatia.
Can looks very similar to austrian Gösser (all the colors are the same). It looks like Daruvarska, with last few supermarket beers, is becoming croatian Pécsi.
Something about the beer-rather below average brew. Pale golden coloured, medium sized soapy white head that went away for two seconds, dusty nose. Some weak hoppy and almost no maltiness with watery palate. Absolutely tasteless and far away from Staročeško.

Canned 50cl. Courtesy oviglado. Diacetyl in the nose, buttery with caramel, rosewater and pear showing up. Reminiscent of a malt accented bohemian pilsener. Sweet. Baklava in the finish. A lot of components I wouldn’t associate with a typical lager. A decent beer as such. If you dig deeper, this beer is enjoyable. Pop corn and rose petals in the finish. Plenty of character. In a blind tasting, I would have guessed this beer to be top fermented, perhaps an ale. Very interesting. Thanks a lot oviglado!

Can at the Roskilde Festival, shared with Pinball. Hvala Ogi! Bit unclear golden colour with a fair white head. Grainy lightly metallic aroma. Thin mouthfeel. Vegetable and grainy flavour with a mild fruitish hoppy touch. Mild bitterness.

07/06 0.5 l can bought by Doggythedog, thanks. Poured golden body with medium bigger head that went down immediately. Honeyish malty and grass hopped aroma. Flavor... ehm, well, he was damn right I won’t be able to read my notes as I was drunk as an ass. I just remember it was not really good beer, and I would bet it’s not the same as Starocesko.
2.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
0.5l can bought at a Billa store in Zagreb. Poured a golden body with a big white head that went away fast. Dusty hoppy nose. The taste isn’t all that special. Some ok, but oh so ordinary hopiness, some dust, almost no maltiness. Nothing special and watery to boot. Now, it isn’t gross (haha) in any way, heck, if it was, you’d be reading one gross related joke after another, but it’s far from a good beer. I’ll be having this and Staročeško side by side next time. The percentages are oh too similar for comfort.
