Krušovice Mušketýr

Brewed by Královský pivovar Krušovice (Heineken)
Style: Bohemian Pilsener
Krusovice, Czech Republic

Serve in Flute, Footed Pilsner

A good drinkable beer without being boring. Bought it in Czech Republic last summer.

Bottle: Deep golden coloured, firm, lasting white foam; cardboardy and bisquity nose with some grassy hops added; light bodied, delicate sweet-bitter flavour; pale-malty and lingering bitter finish. A cheap, "german" version of a Bohemian Pilsener: no solid malty body, no noble hops. Thank You, Radeberger-Group !

50 cl bottle. Deep orangey golden witha good head. Clear. Hoppy aroma promising grass and a little citrus. Sweet flavours, a bit harsh bitterness.Good carbonation, but a bit watery. Below average.

500 ml can brought back from the Czech Republic in a suitcase...tallboy, honey like with floral notes, very crisp almost tight from the acidity but left a great crisp finish. Not bad for a can beer shipped across the world

500 ml can brought back from the Czech Republic by my friend JP (thanks!), served from the fridge into a Christoffel glass. Pours a deep very clear gold with a huge snowy head that leaves delicate lacing as it slowly recedes.....pretty faint but not unpleasant, reasonably fresh grassy nose with a hint of vanilla and lemon....sweet, with light honey tones and some earthy mineralic qualities, very light dry hops towards the finish, and a somewhat unpleasant acrid quality.....bit of artificial bubblegummy quality as well....rather low carbonation, a bit sticky; not bad but far from top-class.

This pilsener has an unusual thick creamy head of foam. The malt did dominate the hop flavor.
