500. Haz a more bready maltiness profile and some subtle woody pencil shaving that elevates it above a sad existance as a ’pale lager’, so there is some Bohemian character. Pretty plesant all in all.

Sold in Aldi as Staroslav Czech lager, Not a bad beer, good appearance and taste, orange colour a good supermarket own brand

Fresh from the tank this beer is very drinkable indeed, however the pasteurised and treated stuff on tap in several bars is rather bland and fizzy at first yet with a slightly sickly aftertaste, not unlike ageing apple-juice. Sweeter than I prefer from Bohemian lager, and a hint of hangover enhancing chemicals. Not woeful, but not one of the better Czech beers.

Clear deep golden with medium white creamy head. Sweet aroma with fruity and caramel notes. Sweet and hoppy flavor with caramel and floral notes leading it to a bitter end.

On tap at the Vojanuv dvur in Prague, a place to be avoided. Their dark beer was definitely off, and this was not well kept, either. Rather anonymous lager that needs to be on better from to face the competiton. Hops, malt, but a sourish palate that was not pleasant.

Dark golden colour, medium head, simpel watery one, some some unreal bitter and a very watery aftertaste.

Can. A golden beer with a thick white head. The aroma is sweet malty with strong notes of hops. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of hops, leading to a bitter finish. Not very exciting.

Draft, Bottle and Can. Forget the can unless you are stuck on a train. Draft and bottle groovy tho. Talk about one beer leading into another. Yikes. Easy drinking. Not much on the nose but the finish hops are what stand out for me. Medium maltiness yields a shortlived sweet that rolls into the hoppy finish.
