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.

Can, 50 cl. Clear, deep golden, medium white head. Bready malty aroma, some butterscotch notes, vitually no hops. Medium bodied, a bit too much carbonated. Long and bitter finish.

Can 500 ml lager with a real grainey corn flavor, no aroma and no finish, very meager. Their other brands are much better

On tap in Czech. Very average lager. Watery with a bit of chemical aftertaste.

Draught at Krusovice Pivnice, Praha on June 1, 2011
As Krusovice Lezak Tankova

7/5/7/3/14=3.6

(canned) Golden, small bubbly head. Weak aroma of grains, grass and metal. Thin flavour of butter, grass and grains. Watery aftertaste.

[on tap in Karlovy Vary, Czech Republic] Bright dark straw with a rocky, white merangue top that made nice lacing. Gentle noble hops aroma with a little malt and mabye some fruit--pretty faint. Mostly noble hops in the flavour and a little uriny. Low malt flavour and sweetness. Since there was so little flavour and sweetness, a small amount of hops bitterness came out. Considerable carbonation, light body, almost clean finish but some residual bitterness. Mediocre beer.

(Bottle 50 cl) Typical slightly watery Czech pilsener, but less hoppines than what is standard. Less malty too. Decent if a bit bland.

Canned. Deep golden colour, big head. Dms notes, yet smooth-ish with a vague, herbal bitterness. A little papery in mouthfeel.

Draught in Prague. Golden colour with a thick dissipating white head. Rich malty aroma with a strong floral/flowery aroma. Flavour also shows a soft floral character, good maltiness and a fairly rich mouthfeel before a velvety bitterness washes over your palate. Flavour also has a lovely flowery character.
