2.5 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Bevuta alla spina, poca schiuma, classica pilsner ceca senza infamia e senza lode. Erbacea e finale leggerissimamente amarognolo. Discreta bevibilitŕ.
2.3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 7/20
Taste is classical bohemian pilsner. Nice hoppy bitterness with herbal-corny feel that is not very pleasant. Aftertaste is the same. Medium-high in carbonation. Golden colour.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle branded Lobkowicz Premium Czech Lager, drunk at the Prague Bar, Shoreditch. Clear golden with a medium white head. Malty and bready aroma with a hint of spicy rye bread. Rye bread flavours for sure. A bit watery. Surpassed my expectations, actually.
2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Bottle, Dodgy Deli, Cowley Road Oxford. Bright copper, open frothy white cap of head. Aroma is a mix of heavy, sticky herbal hops and musty grain. Peanut hulls and tinned corn. Flavor has a fairly brisk hop background of the herbal medicinal sort. Soft, gently prickly carbonation and a pleasant grainy sweetness, though it does run a little toward corn/veg. Not a bad pils, but not as bright and refined as a truly great pils should be.
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Bottle picked up from the Dodgy Deli’, Cowley Road, Oxford. Golden in colour clear, white head. Fair lager, quite pleasant, better than many, clean soft tasting.
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Medium gold color, small head. A medium bodied lager. Mild malts and hops. Very smooth taste. Good balance. Mild flavor. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is malty, a little bitter with a little sweetness
1.3 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 3/20
Marketed in the UK as Premium Czech Lager. The Lobkowicz brewery has a long history, dating back to 1466, and for most of that period it has been under the control of the Lobkowicz family who returned in 1992 after being chased out by the Germans in 1939. The brewery is best known for three beers: Baron, Prince and Knight. This appears to be something made under contract for the British market. I assume the rancid butter/sour chemical taste is due to insufficient lagering and the diacetyl not being absorbed by the yeast. Anyway, this is not a quality product.

In my opinion not as bad as other reviews suggest. OK, its nothing special but its still better than the mass produced lagers that are so common.
