Královský Lev (Lev Lion Pale Double Bock)

500 ml bottle poured a clear golden yellow with a lasting off white head. Aromas of corn, straw, cake and fruittiness. Palate was light bodied and crisp. Flavors of straw, corn and metal with a crisp dry lingering metallic finish.

Blonde colored with a thick, shaving cream head. European hops, light crystal malt, and grassiness wafts off the glass. Pleasant, restrained caramel malt flavor with some graininess, and a watery, tinny, soapy finish even though this is poured from a bottle. After thoughts of grass and wheat fields.

Pale for a doppel, sharply sweet aroma. One sided and the one side I get isn’t great. Sweet, bland, disappointing.

This is a really nice, tasty,. full-bodied Czech pilsner. It is dark gold, very faintly hazy, with a medium, off-white head steadily shrinking to a thin top with a little lace. The aroma is malty grain with a bit of breas, lemon, sulphur, pine, honey, and hay. The taste is herbal hay, grain, honey, bread, lemon. it has a spritxy feel inear the finish and is a bit sweet with a lightly dominant, complex bitterness. It’s extremely tasty and fullbodied yet very easy to drink.

Golden color, moderate head with some lacing and retention. Aroma is grain, bread, grass. Fairly malty, no idea what you’d consider this. Bohemian Pils? Sure why not.

2008 Bottle - Pours a deep tan, small white head. Sweet aroma, rich malt, caramel yeast flavour, pleasant bitterness, very good find and would definitely drink again...

Golden body with a small white head. Malty honey and caramel nose. Sweet up front with a bready finish, light dried apricot note, soft hops. Way to mild for a doppelbock, more of a sweet helles.

Not much of an aroma. Somewhat like honey. Thin head and golden translucent color. Crisp texture slightly malty with a bitter somewhat antiseptic taste. Not a true double bock. More like a pilsner.
